This extensive selection of Tanikawa Shuntaro's poetry reflects the
full depth and breadth of his work, from his appearance as a fresh
new voice to the mastery of his later poetry. It traces his
artistic development and his shift in focus from man's cosmic
destiny to the pathos of everyday life and a more internalized
struggle with the nature of human expression. Lovers of poetry will
find the experience exhilarating. The only such collection in
English, this volume will prove indispensable to students and
scholars of Japanese literature, as it opens a valuable new
perspective on postware Japanese literature. The Introduction
clarifies the social and artistic background of Tanikawa's
extraordinary work and career, illuminating major themes as his
poetry evolves over time.
