Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827), along with Basho and Buson, is considered one of the three greatest haiku poets of Japan, known for his attention to poignant detail and his playful sense of humor. Issa's most-loved work, The Spring of My Life, is an autobiographical sketch of linked prose and haiku in the tradition of Basho's famous Narrow Road to the Interior. In addition to The Spring of My Life, the translator has included more than 160 of Issa's best haiku and an introduction providing essential information on Issa's life and valuable comments on translating (and reading) haiku.

Kobayashi Issa tuvo una vida intensa en emociones y sentimientos. Fue monje budista de la Escuela Amida, pero también se casó tres veces y fue padre de familia. Esta doble experiencia vital: monacal y mundana, sin duda lo dotó de una sensibilidad muy fina, una especial empatía con la naturaleza y los animales ―sobre todo, los más menudos―, y una captación intuitiva del sentimiento de aware, ese asombro casi infantil que constituye uno de los ingredientes más esenciales del haiku.
