Mediocre translations, astonishing variety! — 24 weeks ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
Though the translations could’ve been better, I was quite impressed by the variety of poets represented. There were a few names I’d never heard of before, and Chiyo-ni’s work appeared several times.
It’s not the best/most informative collection of haiku I’ve come across, but the fact that it goes so much further than the usual collection of the Masters and their pupils makes this a fascinating read.
