The Hokku or Epigram Verses of Basho by Charles F. Horne is a comprehensive book that explores the art of Hokku, a form of Japanese poetry that later evolved into Haiku. The book focuses on the works of Basho, one of the most celebrated poets in Japanese history, and provides a detailed analysis of his Hokku verses. The author begins by providing an introduction to the history and development of Hokku, explaining its structure, themes, and literary devices. He then delves into the life and works of Basho, providing biographical information and a critical analysis of his poetry. The book includes a selection of Basho's Hokku verses, presented in both Japanese and English translation, along with detailed commentary on each poem. The author also includes examples of Hokku from other prominent poets, comparing and contrasting their styles with Basho's. Overall, The Hokku or Epigram Verses of Basho is an in-depth study of the art of Hokku and the works of one of its most influential practitioners.
