He is also a poet of queer love and eroticism; of the city as well as the country, the indoors and the outdoors, travel and staying put; of lonesomeness as well as the desire to be alone. \u003ci\u003eBashō The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Bashō \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how this work speaks to our concerns today as much as it captures a Japan emerging from the Middle Ages.
