Inhaltsangabe

The first of this new collection&;s three parts ranges very widely, from poems of childhood-his own, his children&;s, and his grandchild&;s-to poems of keen social and political awareness, and on to pieces about his neighbors, about growing more firmly and deeply into a personal place.

The collection&;s second part, devoted completely to the poet&;s favorite of all the great haiku poets of Japan, Issa, &;Issa: A Suite of Haiku,&; is made up of 72 freshly translated pieces by one of haiku&;s &;great four&; (the others being Basho, Buson, and Shiki -- all of whom Lucien Stryk has translated).

The collection&;s third part begins with some poems about painting and sculpture, then begins to &;travel&; to Italy, England, and Sweden. This volume of poetry is yet another demonstration of what Library Journal declared upon publication of Stryk&;s Collected Poems: 1953-1983: &;This collection affirms Stryk as one of our best poets working in America today.&;
