"Wilson's eloquent introduction and afterword and helpful footnotes provide valuable context, and Gary Miller Haskins's ink-brush drawings in the whimsical haiga style lighten the account of Santoka's squalid existence, more Bukowski than Basho. One can hardly imagine a more accessible or authentic introduction to a remarkable seeker whose life and art were indistinguishable, nor a more essential addition to any collection of world literature." -- Library Journal, Wilson's eloquent introduction and afterword and helpful footnotes provide valuable context, and Gary Miller Haskins's ink-brush drawings in the whimsical haiga style lighten the account of Santoka's squalid existence, more Bukowski than Basho. One can hardly imagine a more accessible or authentic introduction to a remarkable seeker whose life and art were indistinguishable, nor a more essential addition to any collection of world literature. -- Library Journal , ...a rare in-depth view into the life and work of Santoka...this book is a tapestry of biographical notes, journal entries, translator's notes, and poetry. -- Lion's Roar magazine , "Oyama's book is entirely sympathetic to Santoka without being an apology or an exercise in hagiography written for someone he knew well and was obviously close to. Its style is informal, admirably captured by William Scott Wilson's splendid translation. Oyama's sympathy is shot through with a gentle sense of humor and the simple brush-and-ink illustrations by Gary Miller Haskins beautifully capture the lighter side of Santoka." -- Asian Review of Books, "I feel guilty, finding so much joy in another man's sadness..." --Red Pine, author of Finding Them Gone , translator of The Heart Sutra, I feel guilty, finding so much joy in another man's sadness... --Red Pine, author of Finding Them Gone , translator of The Heart Sutra , William Scott Wilson has unearthed yet another neglected Japanese treasure.

Synopsis
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 Oyama Sumita and elegantly translated by William Scott Wilson. Santoka was a literary prodigy, but a notoriously disorganised human being. By his own admission, he was incapable of doing anything other than wandering the countryside and writing verses. Although Santoka married and had a son, he devoted his life to poetry, studying Zen, drinking sake and wandering the length and breadth of the Japanese islands on foot, as a mendicant monk. The poet's life alternated between long periods of solitary retreat and restless travel, influenced by his tragic childhood. When not on the road, he lived in simple grass huts supported by friends and family. Santoka was a lively conversationalist who was often found so drunk he could only make it home with the help of a friendly neighbour or passerby. But above all, throughout his life, he wrote constantly; poetry and essays flowed from him effortlessly. Santoka's eccentric style of haiku is highly regarded in Japan today for being truly modern and free from formal constraints. His journals and essays are equally thought-provoking--the musings of an unkempt but supremely self-conscious mind on everything from writing to cooking rice and his failure to live a more orderly life. This translation and its introduction are by best-selling author William Scott Wilson, whose other works include The Book of Five Rings and The Lone Samurai. Wilson provides sensitive renditions of the haiku illustrating Santoka's life as well as an extensive introduction to the influences on Santoka's work, from contemporary haiku poets and his Buddhist teachers.
