		In Rexroth's fifth and last long philosophical poem, the aging poet wanders through Japanese forests at the beginning of summer, recalling Lao Tzu's imagery of the Tao: "The valley's soul is deathless./It is called the dark woman./The dark woman is the gate/To the root of heaven and earth" (283).
		In it, the poet, like Shakyamuni in nirvana, observes before dawn, near a crescent moon, the Morning Star, which he notes is Marishiten, named after Marishiben, the ancient Indian love-goddess of the dawn who became a bodhisattva for lovers, women in childbirth, prostitutes, geisha, and samurai (85-86).
		She is, I think, the distillation of all of Rexroth's lovers as well as his anima, the feminine, yin aspect of his personality, a personification of his creative imagination, in which the lone self is lost in the poetic process of uniting beings who appear to be separate.

	Carillon
		It was Japanese poetry that drew Rodd away from her study of French to Japanese when she took her first Japanese language class on a junior year program while finishing her bachelor's degree in French with a minor in Russian at DePauw University in Indiana.
		Japanese poetry "doesn't have the heavy interpretive tradition that we have in the West," Rodd explained.
		In addition to her love of Japanese poetry, Rodd was attracted to the Japanese language because its very difficulty made it challenging and because the culture felt very comfortable, Rodd said.

		Before Teika's death in 1241, the poet became a spin doctor of sorts, trying to shape later interpretations of his life, views and achievements.
		After Teika's death, other poets and playwrights forged his writings to give the impression that he would have approved of the actions of the elite ruling class.

	MELUS: David Mura's Poetics of Identity - Japanese American poet
		Any poet who wants to describe [minority Americans'] experience must somehow violate the accepted practice of the language, must bring into the language an alien vocabulary and syntax, rhythms that disrupt, images which jar, ideas which require a totally new relationship to the language and the reality it contains.
		Uba is perhaps the first critic to examine the poetics of individual Asian American poets in relation to their concepts of identity and language.
		We must examine the poets' exploration of the processes and effects of identity construction, as well as their restorative and galvanizing strategies which redefine and reinscribe Asian American identities.

	The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum - Books
		It is not really a repudiation of Japanese culture or heritage, but a way of keeping it out of the line of a divided vision.
		In the fast changing Japanese society one has to adjust oneself to the new culture as the poet affirms in a poem called "Adaptation".
		The dreams and the distempers, the repressed and the submerged, "the racial unconscious", etc., and this led me to Harold Bloom’s theory of poetry; a strong and great poet feels a deep urge to throw off the burden of heritage of the earlier poets who were still fuming in his blood.

		The Japanese poet Saigyo (1118-1190) is a significant figure in the literary transition in medieval Japan to the poetic style of the tanka or waka and the shift in voice and imagery to new subject matter.
		Here is Saigyo's mountain hut and surroundings identifiable with the poet himself: the spring haze dissipates with a sudden insight like a bird call, but the bird is Saigyo, alone, like the bird, in his secluded hut.
		As a poet in a long tradition of reflective style, Saigyo masterfully crafts a mingling of elements to reflect his vocation as a hermit.
