Catie, dear friend, what a wonderful and thoughtful package! I saw the book was one you posted about some years ago, that changed or inspired you, so I‘m really looking forward to it. I have a growing collection of Michigan shirts so this is perfect 😁 #Nunlit folks, please note the prayerful pretzels. I will snack on them while reading my nun books. The tea looks delicious. Everything is lovely - thank you so much Catie! I hope you are well!

JamieArc To add, the prayerful pretzels are “prayerfully prepared by the Sisters of St. Benedict.” 1y

catiewithac I‘m so glad you liked everything!! 🥳🤩 1y
Amiable @catiewithac Where did you get that t-shirt? I need to get one for my husband (an Illinois native) and his brother (Illinois+ now living in Minnesota)! Not to mention that my oldest son was born in Michigan while we were living there when I was in grad school ... (edited) 1y
catiewithac @Amiable I found it at Whereabouts Shop! 1y

This would be an amazing reference book. It not only has all of Basho‘s poems collected and translated, it includes extensive info about each period of his life and all the techniques he employed in his writing. When available notes from his journals are paired with the appropriate poems, and each piece has extensive notes in the appendix describing any wordplay or historical/cultural/literary significance that modern western readers may miss.

I quickly left off reading the notes and just decided to experience the poems. Having all his work collected in order gives you a fabulous sense of Basho‘s life as you watch the seasons pass, and his interests and writing style evolve. I may come back to the notes section if I get my own copy of this one.

When the depressing stories in My Husband get me down, I read a few pages of Basho's complete haiku collection, and feel so much better! I borrow most of my books from the library, but I'm glad I bought this one : I can dip in and out at leisure, and I know I'll be reading it again.

I have recently been inspired to start writing haikus after reading the thoroughly entertaining ones that the awesome @DebinHawaii has come up with for our buddy read of Mansfield Park. This short book is available on kindle unlimited and gives a history of a famous Japanese poet and the origins of haiku. It‘s a quick read and I‘d recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about poetry. 4⭐️

A number of years ago I embarked on a self-study of poetry, reading several books on poetic forms. This slim biography of Matsuo Basho was added to my TBR list along the way. Delightful. I left a longer review on goodreads.

Two chapters into my December #bookspin read and Matsuo Basho has judged a haiku contest and attended a firefly watching party, a snowfall watching party and two Harvest Moonrise parties. Because that‘s what professional poets do. #haiku #matsuobasho #bookspin #bookspinbingo
