Bound in matching rough tan cloth hardcovers with titles present to the spine. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Mr. Blyth not only translated the Japanese Haiku for the Western mass market but really has produced a deep and meaningful view of the world from a profound and poetic viewpoint that is supported by his numerous citing of other authors such as Shakespeare, Thoreau, the Bible, Zen, Chinese mystics, Spengler, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Homer as well as excerpts from the prose writings of the Haiku poets themselves and other poets and thinkers. He attempts to explain the unexplainable in an admirable manner with these volumes and his translations of the Haiku are second to none. Also included is the original Japanese of each poem as well as the original language versions of his cited non-English poetry/prose that is presented alongside selected Haiku for comparison and explanation purposes. Also included is the occasional paintings done by the Haku poets themselves and some in which they wrote their haiku directly on the painting. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
