Review: The translations in this book remind me of Kerouac's pops (free verse haiku) in that the translator doesn't adhere to the 5-7-5 syllable structure of haiku. I'm OK with this because I'm more interested in the spirit of each of Basho's haiku rather than a staid, literal transcription. This gives me a greater appreciation of the art that is being translated (and interpreted).
Review: It's a collector's Delight ! A thorough edition of the master Basho in one volume a dream of any serious English haiku reader that too a translation with multitude of translators in one book for one haiku ! A monumental task rendered awefully indeed ! I am proud to own it ! I am Poet Yugaputhiran ! I do write Haikus in Tamil ( my mother tounge) and English ! It's A must read book-of-the-century Catagory and a collector's Delight !

*by J***H on 6 March 2015*

Hier liegen erstmals alle Haikus von Basho in einer Englischen Übersetzung vor. Da es sowas sobald nicht auf Deutsch geben wird habe ich zugegriffen und wurde nicht enttäuscht. An diesem Buch werde ich noch lange und viel zu lesen haben. Immer wieder hole ich es hervor und lese, mal hier, mal da, ein paar Haiku. Auch das 50 Seiten Vorwort ist interessant und informativ. Im Anhang findet sich eine Fülle zusätzlicher Informationen zur Übersetzung.
