Volume 6, Number 3. Slim octavo. 48pp. Stapled wrappers with a faintly toned spine and tiny bit of soil, just about fine. Laid in in is an 11-page supplement, printing three poems by Yosa Buson (1716-1784), translated by William J. Higginson and Tadashi Kondo. In their afterword, the translators note that they believe that this is the first appearance in English of two of the poems"Lament for Hokuju R?sen" and "A Lyric of Sluggish River"and that the third, "Spring Breeze Horse Levee Tune," had only appeared "in a muddy translation and confusing layout" in a book then out print. Higginson was a charter member of the Haiku Society of America would later co-author the book *The Haiku Handbook*. Other than (presumably) in Higginson's papers at Columbia, *OCLC* doesn't seem to locate any copies of this periodical.
