Hayashi Fumiko, one of the most popular prose writers of the Showa
era, began writing as a down-and-out poet wandering the streets of
1920s Tokyo. In these translations of her first poetry collection,
I Saw a Pale Horse (Aouma wo mitari) and Selected Poems from Diary
of a Vagabond (Horoki), Fumiko's literary origins are colorfully
revealed. Little known in the west, these early poetic texts focus
on Fumiko's unconventional early life, and her construction of a
female subject that would challenge, with gusto and panache,
accepted notions not only of class, family, and gender but also of
female poetic practice.
