HUDSON: A Collection of Tanka, by Kisaburo Konoshima, translated by David Callner, text in English and Japanese. Tokyo: The Japan Times, 2004, 135 pp., 2,500 yen (paper). It was 34 years ago, in 1970, that the Meiji Era-born Japanese-American Kisaburo Konoshima (1893-1984) published "Hudson" (Tokyo, 1970), a selection of Japanese language tanka poetry. "Hudson," which was published as part of Konoshima's kiju celebration (a traditional celebration of longevity in concurrence with an individual's 77th birthday), was Konoshima's first and only published work. For the past six years, Konoshima's grandson, David Kei Callner, has been diligently translating Konoshima's tanka poetry into English. The intergenerational bonds within the Konoshima family are what have made the present English language publication of "Hudson" possible.
