This review is from: Shuntaro Tanikawa: Selected Poems (Paperback)
Although this poet is a well known Japanese author, I found this collection to be a bit tedious. The notes and back history included are well researched and written. The choice of poems themselves was in need of a wider range. The one poem "the child" for which the poet is well known, was not included. The overall emotion was dark and moody, leaving me with less than an enjoyable experience. There are many small books on Japanese poetry that are far more beautifully written with evocative imagery. I would suggest you buy "Tangled Hair" and stay away from this one.
