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.

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.
