Editorial Reviews

This new translation by Yamaguchi and Jenkins...differs primarily in that it is a single volume and that it is done in verse rather than prose. Being available as an affordable book, Choomei's work may now rightfully receive attention from a wider audience....While I doubt...that it will find a lasting place in many college syllabi, perhaps it will serve to stimulate someone to produce, for example, a volume including a translation of the Hoojooki together with other works of a like genre.
