The Poems of Nakahara Chūya

- beautiful, vivid, delicious poems about nature and memory

- very important to read the introduction in this one. says a lot about nakahara chūya's life and relationships and points out how they influence certain poems in the collection

- i struggle with verse like this a little, so i definitely need to go back and look at the poems a bit closer and slower
