O ovoj e-knjizi
This collection of Japanese haiku profiles noted poet Kenneth Yasuda and is a welcome addition to the world of haiku.
In the compact, evocative verse-form known as haiku Japanese writers have for centuries been condensing their finest poetic thought and feeling. Adequate translation of haiku into English awaited a Japanese writer fully acquainted with the English language. That writer has now appeared in Kenneth Yasuda, and this book is the result of a long-time labor of love on the finest poetry of his homeland.
Readers will have some notion of the delight to be expected from the pages of this book, not the least interesting art of which is the final brief section of haiku written directly in English by Mr. Yasuda himself. He also supplies a scholarly clear, fascinating introductory essay on nature and development of haiku form.

O autoru
John Gould Fletcher (January 3, 1886 -May 10, 1950) was an Imagist poet (the first Southern poet to win the Pulitzer Prize), author and authority on modern painting. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to a socially prominent family. After attending Phillips Academy, Andover Fletcher went on to Harvard University from 1903 to 1907, when he dropped out shortly after his father's death. Fletcher's poetic works included: The Black Rock (1928), Selected Poems (1938), for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1939, South Star (1941), and The Burning Mountain (1946). In 1937 he wrote his autobiography, Life is My Song, and in 1947 he published Arkansas, a history of his home state. Fletcher suffered from depression, and on May 20, 1950, he committed suicide by drowning himself in a pond near his home in Little Rock, Arkansas. Fletcher is buried at historic Mount Holly Cemetery in Little Rock. A branch of the Central Arkansas Library System is named in his honor.
