Growing up in poverty and neglect, Issa’s writing is crass, playful, and full of compassion for the unnoticed and the undignified.
In A Taste of Issa, David G. Lanoue writes, “Issa is a poet who speaks to our common humanity in a way that is so honest, so contemporary, his verses might have been written this morning.
Poems of Kobayashi Issa is a short and varied collection of Issa’s haiku. Each translation is accompanied by the original Japanese text and English transliteration (romaji).
