Media reviews

"Hamill lets the lines flow almost seamlessly into each other, sometimes achieving perfect 'pitch' and hitting a natural, almost accidental end rhyme. . . . It seems clear that Hamill has found his calling in translation. With each new volume, we are the luckier for it."—The Japan Times
