Robert Creeley, poet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChiyo-ni (1703-1775), also known as Kaga no Chiyo, is Japan's most celebrated female haiku poet. A student of Basho's disciples, she worked in an age when haiku was largely a male domain. As a poet, painter, and Buddhist nun, she lived a vibrant life while creating poems of crystalline clarity and delicate sensuality. This volume presents more than one hundred of her finest seasonal haiku, renku (linked verse) and haibun (travel poems).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collected poems include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003emorning glory\u003cbr\u003ethe well bucket entangled\u003cbr\u003eI ask for water\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ea hundred gourds\u003cbr\u003efrom the heart\u003cbr\u003eof one vine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003erouged lips\u003cbr\u003eforgotten-\u003cbr\u003eclear spring water\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese luminous, lucidly translated 'haiku moments' give the reader an intimate experience of Chiyo-ni's remarkable vision  and bid us to stop and appreciate each moment of our lives.
