Title: The Wandering Border
Author: Jaan Kaplinski
Publisher: Copper Canyon Press
Year: 1987
Country: Estonia
96 pages
Kaplinski is largely a poet of the every day, with the occasional philosophical musing thrown in for contrast. It's clear from his imagistic focus and here-and-now observations that he is a Buddhist. I enjoyed the sensory descriptions of Estonian farm life, flora (including genus and species in many cases), and fauna, though I didn't find the poems especially moving or thought-provoking.
