Transcending her gender restrictions in the haiku world, Hisajo Sugita wrote haiku of the female gaze: the mundanities of nursing a baby & doing the laundry, the eroticism of unloosened kimono sashes & moon-lit naked skin, and the melding of the spiritual & everyday while combing her hair under the Milky Way. Finally, more great Japanese women haiku poets like Hisajo will be known outside of Japan through the gift of these comprehensive selections and fine translations of Alice Wanderer.

Here we unbox inner childhoods and old train sets, run our hands through wildflowers sprinkled throughout the book, alongside other equally mesmerizing haiku.
