A classic translation of Basho's most famous travel journal
One spring morning in 1689, Basho, arguably the greatest of all Japanese poets, set forth on foot, accompanied by his friend and disciple Sora, from his hermitage in Edo (old Tokyo) on one final journey--a pilgrimage that eventually took him nearly 1,500 miles. Now, more than 300 years later--via beautifully spare prose sprinkled with haiku and graceful translation--this book provides the account of Basho's arduous trek. 16 illustrations.
"A surreal semi-autobiographical blackbook record of a semi-mad period of my life, in that mindless, timeless state most romantics pass through, confusing flesh madonnas with spiritual ones." This is how the author describes this extraordinary expatriate novel.
Twenty-nine poems from the 1950's.
The Secret Meaning of Things is Lawrence Ferlinghetti's fourth book of poems.
The "murdered" Mert and Gert are reborn in the search for their child, the Shitfer, who disintegrated when "hurled through TIme and Space", is resurrected as his discrete "pieces" find and recognise their unity. And presiding over all is Gorf himself - the flying purple phallus, the cosmic joke and life principle.
Offers the most comprehensive collection of Basho's prose available, beautifully translated into English.
