These tanka, so pure of thoughts, using so few words to say of the human emotive. A good selection, a little amount of words stressing so the large feelings. Well done all, well done

I'm not a big haiku fan, but this might be worth a serious look. It seems that Wilson has become the annointed guru of haiku in the poetry world, and has certainly taken it in new directions.

Comment on Dr. Angelee Deodhar’s Hindi-English translation of David Lanoue’s The Distant Mountain: The Life and Haiku of Kobayashi Issa

I fully agree with the views of Denis Garrison. Angelee was kind to send me a copy of the collection and i too enjoyed reading it. The Hindi translation gives us a view of Issa's haiku as translated in English. The book would have created a deeper impact had the haiku been translated from Japanese to Hindi.
