The fascinating and quirky biography of a disheveled poet, skillfully interwoven with his original works.
Zen monk Santoka Taneda (1882-1940) is one of Japan's most beloved modern poets, famous for his 'free-verse' haiku, the dominant style today. This book tells the fascinating story of his life, liberally sprinkled with more than 300 of his poems and extracts from his essays and journals--compiled by his best friend and biographer Sumita Oyama and elegantly translated by William Scott Wilson. Santoka was a literary prodigy, but a notoriously disorganized human being. By his own admission, he was incapable of doing anything other than wandering the countryside and writing verses. Although Santoka married and had a son, he devoted his life to poetry, studying Zen, drinking sake and wandering the length and breadth of the Japanese islands on foot, as a mendicant monk.Produkt The Life and Zen Haiku Poetry of Santoka Taneda: Japan's Beloved Modern Haiku Poet: Includes a Translation of Santoka's Diary of the One-Grass Hut (Oyama Sumita)(Pevná vazba) má přiřazen EAN kód 9784805316559.
