* "This superb homage to the 18th-century Japanese haiku master is
as elegant and spare as the poet's form... Readers would be
hard-pressed to find a more eloquent, concise and inspiring

an eighteenth-century Japanese writer of haiku is as restrained,
graceful, and concise as the art form it honors." -- The Horn Book,
