From the Back Cover
On a rainy Sunday in Santa Fe I put down a wonderful book on the development of Basho's poetics, in which I had been immersed for several days, and picked up the manuscript of Lee Gurga's Fresh Scent. How marvelous to leap from the mountains and paddies of seventeenth-century Japan to the prairies and fields of America in our own time and find another richly human heart expressed in words and images so carefully joined!
