The Basho Variations gathers thirty-four translations of Basho s famous haiku. In doing so it enters an august (albeit scanty) lineage of maverick redactions of this poem that include (as inaugural) thefrog pond plopby Dom Sylvester Huédard and thefog prondl popby bp Nichol. Inspired by Raymond Queneau s Exercises in Style, it also joins the company of his earlierRestricted Translation with Imperfect Level Shift (After Basho)as well as the Frogments from the Frag Pool: Haiku after Basho by fellow ludicians de langage Gary Barwin and Derek Beaulieu; Beaulieu s solo ((plop)) and Basho s Frogger (a Zen video game) created by the Prize Budget for Boys. ...

Product Description
Japanese poetry is well-known for its clarity and concision, and The Narrow Road to the Interior and Hjki are two of the best-loved, and most intensely Japanese, works of their kind; famous for their beautiful, delicate verse and subtle insight into the human condition. It has been said of The Narrow Road that it was as if the very soul of Japan had itself written it. It takes the form of a travel diary, and traces the poets journey from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to the northern interior. Hjki, a much earlier work written by Chmei, a Buddhist hermit, is essentially a meditation on the transience of the world. Read by the famous classical Japanese actor Togo Igawa, the full beauty of its ancient cadences and rhythms is drawn out. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robbie Basho (August 31, 1940 - February 28, 1986) was an American composer, guitarist and pianist, and one of the pioneers of the acoustic steel string guitar in America. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and was orphaned as an infant. Adopted by the Robinson family, Daniel Robinson, Jr. attended Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and went on to study at University of Maryland College Park. Although he played trumpet and sang in middle school and high school ensembles, his interest in acoustic guitar grew during his college years, as a direct result of his friendships with fellow students John Fahey (musician), Ed Denson, and Max Ochs In 1959, Basho purchased his first guitar and immersed himself in Asian art and culture. It was around this time that he changed his name to Basho, in honor of the Japanese Poet, Matsuo Basho. ... Read more

Product Description
This imaginative approach to the work of the Urdu poet Ghalib (1797-1869) presents highly original renderings, made by seven well-known American poets, of Ghalib's ghazals.The ghazals (poems consisting of at least five unrelated couplets) show a time when old values were breaking down withno new ones to take their place.Aijaz Ahmad began by selecting thirty-seven of the ghazals for literal translation.These versions were then given to the American poets who made poetic interpretations of those ghazals which interested them.The resulting variety of interpretation is remarkable, and indicates the evocativeness ofGhalib's poetry.The complete volume, which offers a fascinating insight into poetic creation as well as the work of this unfamiliar poet, consists of Aijaz Ahmad's introduction to Ghalib poetry, the ghazals in Urdu, the literal versions, with explanatory notes and the poems written by the American poets in responseto the ghazals. ...

The imagery in Ghalib's poetry is Awesome
For anyone who likes Urdu poetry this is a good one Ghalib's imagery in his poetry is very vivid. I love the way Ghalib describes his feelings etc. you can really see it.The only thing i was disappointed about was that in the translation from Urdu to English it loses its power and depth overall it was pretty good. Ghalib was truly a great poet ... Read more

Product Description
In the parlance of modern Japanese philosophy, the term Basho denotes a field of experience underlying all conceptions of reality, while remaining itself conceptually ungraspable. "The Basho of Economics", then, refers to the economy's hidden experiential ground, which has never been explicitly scrutinised, as such, by mainstream economics. We uncover this ground by discerning the tacit presuppositions of classical and neo-classical theories from the perspective of modern Japanese philosophy. In particular, we draw attention to the traditional atomist assumptions implicit in their equilibrium-centred models. By breaking through these assumptions, we reconstruct the economy as a functional and relational world of habitual and creative activity outside of the scope of mechanical laws. ... Read more

Excerpt: Masao Abe (1915 September 10, 2006) was a Japanese Buddhist and professor in religious studies, who became well-known for his work in Buddhist-Christian interfaith dialogue. Masao Abe was a Japanese academic in comparative religion (concluding as emeritus professor at Nara University), and a Buddhist philosopher. His mature views were developed within the Kyoto School of philosophy founded by Kitaro Nishida. Hence his interest in, and ability to compare and contrast, Buddhism and Christianity. "Since the death of Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki in 1966, Masao Abe has served as the main representative of Zen Buddhi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1283646 ... Read more

Chapters: Michelangelo, Matisse, Basho, Bach. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 26. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Michelangelo quadrangle is in the southern hemisphere of the planet Mercury, where the imaged part is heavily cratered terrain that has been strongly influenced by the presence of multiring basins. At least four such basins, now nearly obliterated, have largely controlled the distribution of plains materials and structural trends in the map area. Many craters, interpreted to be of impact origin, display a spectrum of modification styles and degradation states. The interaction between basins, craters, and plains in this quadrangle provides important clues to geologic processes that have formed the morphology of the mercurian surface. Several low-albedo features are evident in Earth-based views of the Michelangelo quadrangle, but these features do not appear to correlate directly with any mapped terrain unit. Solitudo Promethei may correspond to a deposit of plains materials centered at 58°, 135°, and Solitudo Martis may correspond to similar materials at 30° to 40°, 90° to 100°. The color data (orange/ultraviolet) presented in Hapke and others (1980) likewise show no particular correlation with mapped terrain types. The yellow region (moderately high orange/ultraviolet) centered at 33°, 155° appears to correspond to a smooth plains deposit, but the region overlaps into adjacent cratered terrain. Mariner 10 photomosaicMariner 10 data include complete photographic coverage of the quadrangle at a resolution of about 2 km. In addition, twelve stereopairs cover scattered areas in the quadrangle; these photographs were used to supplement the geologic interpretation. About 10° of longitude of the H-13 quadrangle (Solitudo Persephones Province) adjacent to the west is in...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14609586 ... Read more
