I just loved that issue of Vallum, and especially those poems you translated. <BR/><BR/>I lived in Japan for a year and a half during 1990-91, then got an M.A. in East Asian Studies at Washington University in St. Louis; but I have not been back to Japan since I lived there. These days I'm working on poetry and poetry analysis, and I have a particular interest in the sense of "nowness" in the experience of a poem, that transience of being in the essence of the poem that comes and goes so quickly. (That how much it takes to say "mono no aware" in English.)<BR/><BR/>I assume you have extensive experience in Japan. I am very interested to know about it, if you are up to sharing. I am so glad you're out their doing quality translations of wonderful poetry.<BR/><BR/>AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754785071196846157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641638.post-1153124485893978482006-07-17T04:21:00.000-04:002006-07-17T04:21:00.000-04:00Amy I came across your use of my Santoka translati...Amy I came across your use of my Santoka translations.
