Poetry
My poetry translations have focused on academic article about haiku and tanka, including translations of the poetry itself, as well as articles and poetry translations for the International Haiku Magazine “Ginyu.” My main area of interest is in the modern poet Takamura Kotaro. I have been working on a new translation (with Sam Hamill) of his Chieko Poems.
