Bashi, the 17th-century Japanese poet and diarist, was a great master of haiku. This verse form, of 17 syllables divided into three lines of five, seven and five syllables, is a spare, intense poetic utterance, often invoking nature. Lucien Stryk's elegant translations do not reproduce the numbered syllables in English, but dive to the heart of the meaning. (Kirkus UK)
These 253 selections reveal Basho’s mastery of the genre.
