Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies: Poems of the Five Mountains : An Introduction to the Literature of the Zen Monasteries by Marian Ury (1992, Hardcover, Revised edition)
This second, revised edition of a pioneering volume, long out of print, presents translations of Japanese Zen poems on sorrow, old age, homesickness, the seasons, the ravages of time, solitude, the scenic beauty of the landscape of Japan, and monastic life. Composed by Japanese Zen monks who lived from the last quarter of the thirteenth century to the middle of the fifteenth century, these poems represent a portion of the best of the writing called in Japanese gozan bungaku, "literature of the five mountains."
