They have the santoka spirit, but they are Ella too.<BR/><BR/>Let me recommend *Santoka: Grass and Tree Cairn*, in which Hiroaki Sato translates santoka'a haiku as one-liners. His translations strike me as sharper than Watson's. Having no Japanese, I can't vouch for their accuracy.<BR/><BR/>I've never been able to get ahold of John Stevenson's book of Santoka<BR/>translations.<BR/><BR/>Best, Bill KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10260515.post-21850843249925092542008-02-17T14:29:00.000+01:002008-02-17T14:29:00.000+01:00Oh Ella, I do like these, all of them; they are bo...Oh Ella, I do like these, all of them; they are both quiet, and striking, all at once.... a very powerful sequence... thanks for sharing them....<BR/><BR/>Dina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10260515.post-86179463817737425542008-02-17T14:27:00.000+01:002008-02-17T14:27:00.000+01:00Inspired by Santoka or not, this is only a seconda...Inspired by Santoka or not, this is only a secondary fact. <BR/>The poems are splendid, full of suggestions, images and meanings, a true measure of your talent and sensitivity!<BR/> <BR/>If I am allowed to make a little suggestion - I would use a "cut marker" in order to delimit the fragment and the phrase of the poem. <BR/> <BR/>Thank you very much, dear Ella.<BR/> <BR/>Warm wishes,<BR/>Dana-MariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
