Renowned poet and translator Sanford Goldstein describes Robert Wilson’s Jack Fruit Moon as “... the creation of a remarkable world unlike anything seen in tanka and haiku all these centuries. The book is filled with unusual images that make us feel we are experiencing a surrealist world. ... What seems to have happened in this amazing book filled with images never seen on sea or land is that the rationalism of the world is turned upside down or is sent whirling as on an endless merry-go-round.” Ikuyo Yoshimura, poet, author, speaker, and Associate Professor of English at Asahi University, says, “Robert Wilson has written an epoch-making work of vivid tanka-haiku...” Amelia Fielden, Australian poet and translator, says, “As exotic as its title, Jack Fruit Moon is an intriguing document, a lyrical stream of consciousness in the shape of alternating haiku and tanka style poems. It is rich with fantastical language and mysterious images. ... An excitingly different poetic world to read and absorb.”
