Selected and exquisitely translated by William Scott Wilson, the book features over 385 haiku by over 100 famous poets with commentary by the translator.
Seasonal poems by the "Great Four" haiku poets (Basho, Shiki, Buson and Issa) are featured alongside the works of other well-known poets like Ryokan, Kikaku and Santoka. Wilson provides fresh new translations of the classic works and includes many other delightful work of poets who are rarely found in English anthologies, including the female poets Kaga no Chojo and Hisajo, as well as haiku written by the famous Japanese novelist Soseki Natsume.
