A pleasant easy read, thanks to the ugly duckling press open-source (available at the online chapbook archive)

Very interesting choices made by the translator, and thoughtful, insightful poems by the original poet!

Smooth. Neat and tidy poems that delve much deeper than their short forms. Yes, forms. The English translation doesn't reflect that these poems were written in formal meter with rhyming lines. (I know it's hard to create effective translations that preserve the rhyme schemes of the originals, but I did notice the lack of rhyming in the English versions.)

Still--great work.
