As the example illustrated in this second edition of artistic, critical, epistemological, and philosophical readings, the work of Ban'ya Natsuishi, the acclaimed Japanese haiku poet, embodies this contemporary tendency. The poet's vision includes perspectives which flow between past and present, nation and culture, language and meaning. The semiotic expression of the verses here transcend the notion of contact between peoples and, through polysemy and a loving irony, create a space for a true re-aligning of geographic, historical, and cultural identities. --Dr. Robert Simon, Kennesaw State University.
