<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>No mere "child's poet," Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) is an aware and committed artist who celebrates, in a lifetime of haiku, the "Other Power" of Amida Buddha: a power that transforms the individual and universe or, more exactly, the individual/universe in their inseparableness. This is the first book-length English-language treatment of this remarkable Japanese poet in relation to his joyful, "priestly" mission.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>David G. Lanoue is a professor of English at Xavier University of Louisiana.
