About this title: Here is the most complete single-volume collection of writings by one of the great luminaries of Asian literature. Basho (1644-1694) elevated the haiku to an art form of utter simplicity and intense spiritual beauty, and is best known in the West as the author of The Narrow Road to the Interior, a travel diary of linked prose and haiku. This volume includes a masterful translation of this work and many others besides.

"The picture does not reflect the edition I read, but mine is from Shambhala, translation by Sam Hamill.
Simple and very beautiful. An interesting cultural trait this ancient reverence for poets and poetry and the flashes of insight and fleeting beauty they capture."
"Great collection! Narrow Road... is wonderful of course but I also really enjoyed the selected haiku. Nice to see the romanized Japanese alongside the translations. These were helpful to me when teaching haiku to youth, but the book also has plenty of stuff for mature readers. Happy to have this on my shelf for future reference!"
