The Story of Yone Noguchi (1914) is a memoir by Yone Noguchi. Both
a leading modernist poet in English and Japanese and a dedicated
literary critic who advocated for the cross-pollination of national
poetries, Yone Noguchi lived an extraordinary life. In clear prose
and with a confidence earned through decades of dedication to
literature, he tells his own story and reflects on his unique
experiences while illuminating the influential people and places
that shaped him. Noguchi began studying English as a child, and
soon fell in love with the language and its literature. For years,
he dreams of leaving Japan to experience life in the West, and as a
teenager takes the opportunity to move to California. In San
Francisco and Oakland, he encounters a vibrant community of artists
who welcome him into their midst. Under the tutelage of Joaquin
Miller, an older poet and adventurer, he begins to believe in his
own poetic voice, and soon publishes two collections of verse in
English. Over the next several years, he moves to Chicago, New
York, and London, each time increasing his professional connections
and growing surer as a poet. Eventually, he returns to Japan, where
he looks to his roots and becomes a well-regarded critic of poetry
and the dramatic arts. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Yone Noguchi's
The Story of Yone Noguchi is a classic of Japanese American
literature reimagined for modern readers.
