View Larger Image The Spring of My Life: And Selected Haiku Issa Kobayashi; Sam Hamill ISBN: 9781570621444 Publisher: Shambhala Pubns Publication Date: 1997 Binding: Softcover Issa (1763-1827), along with Basho and Buson, is considered on of the three greatest haiku poets of Japan, known for his attention to poignant detail and for his subtle sense of humor. "Oraga Haru", translated here as "Spring of My life", is Issa's much-loved autobiographical work. Ostensibly a record of the day-to-day events of his life during the year 1819, it is in fact a deeply felt meditation on Issa's entire life, weaving together the simple everyday moments with larger events of other years and imaginary material to create a kind of emblem of the great poet's mind....In addition to "Spring of My Life", the book includes more than 160 of Issa's other haiku, each accompanied by romanized Japanese, so that the reader can appreciate the sound and rhythm of the poems in their original language.
