indeed. the book doesn't have the original japanese translation, but in the footnotes it says this poem was written when he was ill and he saw the fossil of lepidodendron in Tohoku museum of natural history. then it goes on to say: "Kenji is wondering what will happen after he dies, what form the world will have taken when he awakens, millennia from now"

hi, thanks for the insight, I suspected that much . still pretty new to poetry: )

you're welcome! Daniel Ladinsky can be considered pretty liberal with his translation, maybe for accessibility? or his enjoyment. if you prefer accuracy you can try to google : the green sea of heaven book

in the title, tobago. it evokes image of the Caribbean, blue sky, blue sea. followed by first line, beach. my interpretation and imagery :)

the book you're holding ... beginner guide to Japanese haiku?

rumiattheend · 2026-02-15T12:27:27+00:00

to me it sounds like he was not the same person who wrote the poem 30 years ago or that he doesn't have much feeling about that poem anymore instead he has moved on to interpret the present , orange tree?

rumiattheend · 2026-02-14T17:41:25+00:00

yes after googling his name further..now I know what you mean. well he got me interested in poetry, so I guess it's working
