Double Take: Response Tanka
by Sonja Arntzen and Naomi Beth Wakan

Press Release


The translation of poems written in Chinese by the Japanese Zen monk Ikkyū Sōjun (1394-1481) absorbed Sonja Arntzen for twenty years and resulted in the publication of Ikkyū and the Crazy Cloud Anthology (Tokyo University Press, 1986). Also drawn to the vast body of work produced by Japanese women writers in the 10th and 11th centuries, she has published a translation of a 10th C. woman’s journal, The Kagerō Diary (University of Michigan, 1997). Retired from teaching at the University of Toronto, she is working on various translations and a history of Japanese women’s writing, along with writing poetry and doing a lot of gardening.
