Shiki's poems are necessary and delicious as mountain water, carrying the mountain's hidden minerals from inside it to inside us.\" —Jane Hirshfield, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Haiku \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ink Dark Moon\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eLast year's dream\u003cbr\u003eI wake to this year's\u003cbr\u003ereality\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eShiki\u003c\/b\u003e is considered by the Japanese as one of the masters of haiku.
