Críticas:

"Despite her popularity in Japan, the haiku poet Momoko Kuroda has had few of her works translated into English. This handsome volume remedies the situation and more." - Frogpond - Haiku Society of America "The book itself honors the poetic form; it is carefully crafted and beautiful in its details, inviting readers to savor the words--and wisdom within." - Story Circle Book Review "..Kuroda's poetry provides new insight about a culture through one of its most celebrated art forms." - The Absolute "The haiku are well written, evocative and offer lucid, lyrical statements - the images immediately appealing." - Kokako

Reseña del editor:

Momoko Kuroda (b. 1938) is a remarkable haiku spirit and a powerfully independent Japanese woman. The one hundred poems here-her first collection in English-show her evolution as a poet, her acute lyricism, and her engagement as a writer in issues central to modern Japan: postwar identity, nuclear politics, and Fukushima. Abigail Friedman's introduction and textual commentaries provide important background and superb insight into poetic themes and craft. I wait for fireflies / I wait as if for someone / who will never return Momoko Kuroda is one of Japan's most well-known haiku poets. Abigail Friedman lives near Washington, DC, and is author of The Haiku Apprentice.
