"A wonderful introduction the Japanese tradition of jisei, this volume is crammed with exquisite, spontaneous verse and pithy, often hilarious, descriptions of the eccentric and committed monastics who wrote the poems." --Tricycle: The Buddhist Review Although the consciousness of death is, in most cultures, very much a part of life, this is perhaps nowhere more true than in Japan, where the approach of death has given rise to a centuries-old tradition of writing jisei, or the "death poem." Such a poem is often written in the very last moments of the poet's life. Hundreds of Japanese death poems, many with a commentary describing the circumstances of the poet's death, have been translated into English here, the vast majority of them for the first time. Yoel Hoffmann explores the attitudes and customs surrounding death in historical and present-day Japan and gives examples of how these have been reflected in the nation's literature in general. The development of writing jisei is then examined--from the longing poems of the early nobility and the more "masculine" verses of the samurai to the satirical death poems of later centuries. Zen Buddhist ideas about death are also described as a preface to the collection of Chinese death poems by Zen monks that are also included. Finally, the last section contains three hundred twenty haiku, some of which have never been assembled before, in English translation and romanized in Japanese.

Murder and mayhem on the Dutch Bulb Fields...Tour manager Fiona Mason's first assignment turns into a nightmare. As if coping with difficult passengers were not enough, one of them disappears in mysterious circumstances. Suddenly a full-scale investigation is in swing headed by the autocratic Peter Montgomery-Jones who doesn't make Fiona's job any easier. The missing man was undercover on the trail of diamond smugglers. When his body turns up Fiona must face the fact that she has a murder in her party. The body count quickly mounts up when they move on to Amsterdam and Fiona needs to work out which of her passengers is the killer before she becomes his next victim.If you like gripping travel mysteries set in beautiful locations with plenty of red herrings that will keep you turning the page, then join our intrepid woman sleuth on her first outing as a tour manager in the first Fiona Mason Mystery - Blood on the Bulb Fields.The Fiona Mason SeriesBook 1: Blood on the Bulb FieldsBook 2: Blood in the WineBook 3: Blood and ChocolateBook 4: Blood Hits the WallBook 5: Blood Across the DivideBook 6: Blood Flows South coming summer 2018Acclaim for Blood on the Bulb Fields'Excellent read, gripping I couldn't put it down. More like this please.''Set in Holland, this whodunit kept me guessing to the very last page. It succeeds at every level - a fast paced story full of suspense with lots of twists and turns - the tension relieved by light touches of humour - beautifully described background bringing back memories of Keukenhof, Delft and Amsterdam - and superb characterization. Peter Montgomery-Jones is a modern day Mr Darcy - half the time you want to kick him in the shins but you can't help loving him and the merry widow Gloria is a joy.''Wonderful stuff in true Cranswick style. This first book introducing Fiona Mason is great. I just love the way that we are taken on a tour of The Netherlands; the descriptions of the parks, towns and the wonderful profusions of colour really makes the reader 'see' the settings; even without the murders and mayhem, it's a great read. (And if blood is good for growing grapes, perhaps it's good for tulips too!)Fiona is a character with whom the reader can identify. She is a lady bravely getting on with life after the death of her beloved husband of many years. Feeling out of her depth but determined to make a go of her new job, she embarks with her coach load of people, taking them on a tour to The Netherlands. Even before they have got across the channel there is a dead man on the ferry. So begins the crime mystery, and it's all about diamond smuggling and murder with Fiona trying to keep some semblance of order and calm with all this going on around the Super Sun coach party.''I loved the concept - a novice tour leader for a trip to the Netherlands finds herself embroiled in a web of cross-channel smuggling, intrigue, and murder.Great character in Fiona Mason, and many interesting secondary characters. Lots of local colour as the group pass through the major tourist sites of Holland. The novel has many twists and turns, with an ending I wasn't expecting. If you like murder mysteries, especially ones set in exotic locales, you'll love 'Blood on the Bulb Fields'.'

The publication of this book is a literary event. It is Miss Bishop's first volume of verse since Poems, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1955. This new collection consists of two parts. Under the general heading "Brazil" are grouped eleven poems including "Manuelzinho," "The Armadillo," "Twelfth Morning, or What You Will," "The Riverman," "Brazil, January 1, 1502" and the title poem. The second section, entitled "Elsewhere," includes others "First Death in Nova Scotia," "Manners," "Sandpiper," "From Trollope's Journal," and "Visits to St. Elizabeths." In addition to the poems there is an extraordinary story of a Nova Scotia childhood, "In the Village." Robert Lowell has recently written, "I am sure no living poet is as curious and observant as Miss Bishop. What cuts so deep is that each poem is inspired by her own tone, a tone of large, grave tenderness and sorrowing amusement. She is too sure of herself for empty mastery and breezy plagiarism, too interested for confession and musical monotony, too powerful for mismanaged fire, and too civilized for idiosyncratic incoherence. She has a humorous, commanding genius for picking up the unnoticed, now making something sprightly and right, and now a great monument. Once her poems, each shining, were too few. Now they are many. When we read her, we enter the classical serenity of a new country."
