Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The eloquent American poet Tess Gallagher discusses the loss of her husband Raymond Carver and the life of a writer with the prolific Japanese novelist and Buddhist nun, Jakucho Setouchi. Their heartfelt and uplifting conversation took place at "Jakuan," Jakucho Setouchi’s temple in Sagano, Japan. This stunning masterpiece of book design and construction is a work of art that reproduces the wood block and stencil prints of Keiko Hara with the exquisite lettering of typographer Maki Yamashita and the craftsmanship of master bookbinder Atsuo Ikuta.

About the Author
Tess Gallagher is author of My Black Horse: New and Selected Poems and winner of the Maxine Cushing Gray Foundation Award and the Elliston Award. Novelist Jakucho Setouchi is most recently the contemporary translator of a 10-volume "Jakucho Genji" that has sold in excess of 2.3 million copies in Japan. Keiko Hara is a well-known artist, book artist, and professor of art at Whitman College.
