Basho stands today as Japans most renowned writer, and one of the most revered. Yet despite his stature, Bashos complete haiku have not been collected into a single volume. Until now. To render the writers full body of work into English, Jane Reichhold, an American haiku poet and translator, dedicated over ten years of study. In Basho: The Complete Haiku , she accomplishes the feat with distinction. Dividing his creative output into seven periods of development, Reichhold frames each period with a decisive biographical sketch of the poets travels, creative influences and personal triumphs and defeats. Scrupulously annotated notes accompany each poem; and a glossary and three indexes fill out the volume. Original sumi-e ink drawings by artist Shiro Tsujimura complement the haiku throughout the book.
