The Essential Haiku: Versions of Basho, Buson, and Issa by Robert Hass, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa, Matsuo Bashō

4.0

The Essential Haiku is a distillation of a distillation, the best of the best, a delight of simplicity, beauty, and truth. This book has reminded me of the brilliance of poetry, and the wonder that a tiny haiku holds. I will read more poetry. I will read more haiku.
