Patrick O'Leary creates a portrait of a woman's life in his translations of 25 love poems by the legendary Japanese Master of the erotic Tanka--the predecessor of Haiku. Accompanied by the evocative woodcuts of Artist Sandy Rice these delicate and powerful poems trace the universal arc of romantic obsession, and still haunt us, a thousand years after they were first written.
