## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An excellent collection of Asian poetry for anyone into this poetic form.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2016*

It has been said by that grand master of prose, William Shakespeare that “brevity is the soul of wit.” This is probably why the Asian poetry forms such as “Haiku” have become so popular ever the years.  I love all kinds of poetry, with the exception of the long, drawn out, never ending and boring modern free verse form which seems so popular with pseudo-intellectuals today. My favorite poetry form is Japanese Haiku, but I do love all types of Asian poetry.I purchased this volume (Zen Poetry: Let the spring breeze enter translated and edited by Lucien Stryk and Takashi Ikemoto) at a bargain price on Amazon.  I have read numerous books on Asian poetry over the years but I was pleasantly surprised to find many of the poems in this collection were new to me. This soft cover book is organized into four parts and an afterword.  Do not pass up the preface, introduction and a note on the translation in the first part of this book.  It explains in detail what is meant by the term “Zen Poetry” and other issues.Part one covers Chinese poems of enlightenment and death.  Part two has poems of the Japanese Zen masters.  Part three deals with Japanese Haiku.  Part four has poetry by Shinkichi Takahashi, a contemporary Japanese master.  The afterword is about the death of a Zen Poet, Shinkichi Takahashi.If you are into the relationship between Asian poetry and Zen this book is for you.  I found the material thoughtful and enlightening.Rating: 5 Stars.  Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Haiku Moments: How to read, write and enjoy haiku)

    A nice collection of Zen  poetry and haikus
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2020*

I spent an afternoon reading this and was enthralled by the various poets, most of them from the 17th, 18th and 19th century. The Zen Buddhism philosophy is always at the heart of these writing, as well as a love of nature. I really like the haiku, especially the work of Basuo. Haikus always require an economy of language, to take a moment and encapsulate it into seventeen syllables.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Now and Zen
  

*by M***6 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2013*

Poetry is a delicate dance between reality and eternity  This is best experienced in Zen poetry, where the present is eternal and the eternal is ever present.This book is graced by a generous portion of the modern Japanese poet Shinkishi Takahachi, whose works are based in reality of sparrows and trains and a woman' s thigh, but who notes that these things exist in time for a billion years.Recommended, especially for the section by Takahashi.
