On Love and Barley Haiku of Basho, Paperback by Basho; Styrk, Lucien (TRN), ISBN 0140444599, ISBN-13 9780140444599, Brand New, Free shipping in the USBasho, one of the greatest of Japanese poets and the master of haiku, was also a Buddhist monk and a life-long traveller. His poems combine 'karumi', or lightness of touch, with the Zen ideal of oneness with creation. Each poem evokes the natural world - the cherry blossom, the leaping frog, the summer moon or the winter snow - suggesting the smallness of human life in comparison to the vastness and drama of nature. Basho himself enjoyed solitude and a life free from possessions, and his haiku are the work of an observant eye and a meditative mind, uncluttered by materialism and alive to the beauty of the world around him.<br><br>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
