Book Reviews of Dewdrops on a Lotus Leaf: Zen Poems of Ryokan
Book Review: Mad Wisdom and Compassion on a Lotus Leaf
Summary: 5 Stars
These are fresh and spare and unforgettable poems, reproduced by John Stevens with directness and fidelity to the original (or so I have been told by my multilingual friends.)
Ryokan was a nature poet but fully in touch with humanity and he had this touch in his poems such that each poem has many levels and can be appreciated through any or all.
"At night I got drunk on peach blossoms by the river.
I never cared about returning home,..."
How can you not love it? I can taste the dewdrops already...
