An excellent collection! There are quite a few other books I'd like to find now; I appreciated how the translators gave you a mini bio of the poets, and directed you to other English translations and who published them. I only wish they'd kept the traditional order of Japanese names (really my only complaint here). Otherwise, from the viewpoint of someone unfamiliar with the original Japanese poems, it's an intriguing collection.
