Stephen Miller, associate professor of Japanese language and literature, recently published a monograph with the Cornell University East Asia Series titled “The Wind from Vulture Peak: The Buddhification of Japanese Waka in the Heian Period.”The book tells the story of how a distinctly Buddhist poetry developed within the well-established court poetic tradition (the 31-syllable waka form) between the eighth and 12th centuries. It contains 141 original translations by Miller and his translation partner, Patrick Donnelly.
