Summary: "Zen monk Santoka Taneda (1882-1940) is one of Japan's most beloved modern poets, famous for his 'free-verse' haiku, the dominant style today. This book tells the fascinating story of his life, liberally sprinkled with more than 300 of his poems and extracts from his essays and journals--compiled by his best friend and biographer Sumita Oyama and elegantly translated by William Scott Wilson."--
