Seen and Unseen: Or, Monologues of a Homeless Snail (1897) is a
collection of poems by Yone Noguchi. Written only three years after
his arrival in San Francisco, these poems capture the emotions of a
young man far from home. Fluent in English and adept with the open,
flowing style of free verse, Noguchi remains unique in his vision
of earthly life. Noguchi's poems are songs of light and shadow, in
tune with animals, seasons, spirits, and complex emotions. His
words are leaves, his thoughts are curtains knocking "with their
shadowy hands" upon his door. His "[p]oetry begins with the
tireless songs of the cricket, on the lean gray haired hill, in
sober-faced evening. / And the next page is Stillness." Alone in a
foreign country, he finds solace in the strange music of nature,
hope in the words he can make of it. He envisions himself asleep in
the depths of a canyon, writing letters that will never arrive,
longing for the crickets to sing. "The homeless snail climbing up
the pillow, stares upon the silvered star-tears on my eyes! [...]
Oh, I am alone! Who knows my to-night's feeling!" He asks, the
homeless snail asks, and his reader longs to answer. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Yone Noguchi's Seen and Unseen: Or, Monologues of a
Homeless Snail is a classic of Japanese American literature
reimagined for modern readers.
