Book Reviews of The Essential Haiku: Versions of Basho, Buson, & Issa (Essential Poets)
Book Review: Essential Haiku
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. Robert Hass provides 'versions' of Basho and Co rather than straight translations, and in this respect it works well. The book includes a useful introduction along with journal entries and other prose from the authors as well comphrehensive selection of their haiku.
