Review of One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each
Complete Review has a review of One Hundred Poems, One Poems Each: A Translation of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu translated by Peter McMillan and with a foreword by Donald Keene.
The reviewer writes, “McMillan has none a nice job here. By not forcing the English to mirror the syllable- (or even line-) count he’s able to effectively capture and convey the ‘feel’ of many of the originals effectively, and the vast majority of the hundred poems do read very well.”
