### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Modern Japanese Haiku
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2022*

I loved this little precious book of Momoko Kuroda's haiku. So fresh and alive. And the editor's commentaries help add richness and cultural context to the work. I was sad to finish the book and quickly began again to read, digest, and enjoy these tiny marvels--the only English translation of Kuroda's haiku.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    a wonderful book for anyone interested in the history of one contemporary female haiku poet
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2022*

This book was a pleasure to read; well laid out. The most helpful was the author's (Abigail Friedman) inclusion of supporting commentary regarding the events and impressions inspiring the poet's (Momoko Kuroda) haiku. This made a tremendous difference in understanding the significance of the haiku in the poet's life. The long-standing haiku-related relationship between them provided another level of interest. As an aside, the author's other book (The Haiku Apprentice) was excellent. The two books together brought a full appreciation of an American's experience of haiku while in Japan and back in the U.S., enhanced by her relationship with a well-respected contemporary Japanese poet.

    "I Wait for the Moon" is a gift to be slowly savored as one uncovers its treasures.
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2014*

DO judge this book by its cover. "I Wait for the Moon" is a gift to be slowly savored as one uncovers its treasures. The book cover, the size, the texture of the paper, the visual organization, the scale of all is the perfect format for its rich contents.Beginning with the opening photograph of the poet, Momoko Kuroda, next to her haiku on a stone monument, I was intrigued and amazed at how the sculptor organized the haiku, fitting in the Kanji and kana into a "circular" format, elongating, shortening, yet all is "present”. It is the perfect introduction to a book which is far more than its description of haiku translated into English with commentary by Abigail Friedman.Following “The Haiku Apprentice”, Friedman’s first book, Kuroda is always central to this new book but enriched enormously by what is far more than commentary. The personal stories, the painting of the scenes and places at which the haiku were written, the comparisons to other quoted haiku poets interpreting the same places, and the culture and history of Japan is ever present and interwoven. More than anything else as the highest recommendation is the immensely pleasurable readability of the whole book. It is broad stroked and intimate at the same time. The unusual and highly talented persona of Kuroda comes alive within its pages and at the same time shows us the talents of translation and illumination by Abigail Friedman.
