Notes

  • Dedication: for my son Anthony
  • Epigraph: Soon after Matsuo Basho set out on one of his recorded travels he came upon an abandoned child on the bank of the Fuji River. Knowing such was the custom in hard times Basho resolved his grief by determining that as terrible as the act was it must be 'Heaven's will'. He gave the child what food he had and before moving on wrote: Poets who sang of monkey's wailing: / How would they feel about this child abandoned / In the Autumn wind?
  • Includes a sequence of nine numbered poems under the title Polarized Light.
