内容简介：
This book is a tanka treasure chest, filled with nearly five hundred poems by the acknowledged master of the genre, Sanford Goldstein. Not only has Goldstein, with his translating partners, made the classics of modern Japanese poetry available in English, he has written some of the best tanka ever rendered first in English. Six published collections of the tanka of Sanford Goldstein are compiled in this single, historic, volume by "the father of tanka in English." For anyone who wants to understand tanka, who wants a genuine tanka experience, this book is a must-read. Sanford Goldstein's Four Decades on My Tanka Road is where you start your own journey with the world's oldest continually-anthologized poetic genre.
