1 peopleSancho Panza's Return is a major postwar poetry collection in which Yoshiro Ishihara writes against silence from the background of Siberian internment and the experience of losing language. Rather than reducing extremity to testimony, the poems make the very impossibility of speech their tension.
A landmark collection that opens a deep current in postwar poetry from between internment experience and silence.
