poets, including Shuntar Tanikawa, Minoru Yoshioka, Taeko Tomioka,
Nobuo Ayukawa, Tar Kitamura, Ry ichi Tamura, Hiroshi Yoshino,
Noriko Ibaragi, G z Yoshimasu and Y ji Arakawa, carefully selected
by the renowned poet and literary critic Makoto oka to ensure that
the chosen poems express each poet's special character. The
collection provides a superb introduction to Japanese poetry from
the immediate postwar period to the mid-1990s, and through these
works one can sense the movement in poetry that reflected the
challenging transitions and dizzying transformations occurring in
postwar and contemporary Japan. Selected for inclusion in the
Japanese Literature Publishing Project (JLPP) by the Japanese
Agency for Cultural Affairs, this first-ever English edition has
been translated by Paul McCarthy with both empathy and artistic
felicity, and also includes a critical introduction by the Japanese
poet and essayist Ch ei Yagi. Suitable for both the student/scholar
of modern Japanese literature and the general reader with a passion
for poetry, the 101 poems in this authoritative collection will
delight and inspire.
