Description:

Winner of the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation
  • The "startling" collected works of "one of the most innovative and prominent avant-garde poets in early twentieth-century Japan" (The New Yorker).

    Translated by and with an introduction by Sawako Nakayasu
    Chika Sagawa was a leader of the avant-garde movement in post-World War I Tokyo, a daring experimental poet whose work broke with the gender-bound traditions of Japanese poetry.

Almost immediately recognized as a leading light of the male-dominated Japanese literary scene, Sagawa's work combines striking, unique imagery with Western influences. The results are short, sharp, surreal poems about human fragility and the beauty of nature from Japan's first female Modernist poet.
