No Customer Reviews
The intensely confessional work of Japan's most famous modernist poet, considered the Japanese Rimbaud, whose poems have inspired cultlike devotion--especially among fans of the hit anime show Bungo Stray Dogs--in a brilliant new translation, the most comprehensive in English A Penguin Classic Although he lived only to age thirty, Nakahara Chūya ranks among the finest of Japanese poets, evoking in his work the alienation, ennui, and romantic melancholy of a changing world. This edition collects both his published and his unpublished work, from his traditional Japanese tanka to his experiments with European modernism, and captures in a melodic new translation the beauty and intimacy of Chūya's voice, showing why it has resonated with readers for a century.
