Overview

A bilingual Japanese-English presentation of Shuri Kido'spoetry, co-translated by Pulitzer prize-winner Forrest Gander

Shuri Kido, known as the "far north poet," is one of themost influential contemporary poets in Japan. Names and Rivers brings the poemsof Shuri Kido to readers in North America for the first time, thanks to startranslator team Tomoyuki Endo and Pulitzer Prize winner Forrest Gander. Drawinginfluence from Japanese culture and geography, Buddhist teachings, andmodernist poets, Kido presents a mesmerizing view of the world and our humanposition in it. This is a world "that isn't ours"--where the trees are sirenswhile the people are silent, where snow lingers while language crumbles. Namesand Rivers is made of crossings, questionings, and mysteries as unanswered andopen as the sky. Bilingual Japanese-English production.
