1 peopleA collection of essays by an American-born poet who moves between Japanese and English, writing humorously about linguistic gaps and everyday discoveries. It combines the distance of seeing Japanese as a foreign language with a deep curiosity that moves inside the language itself.
Essays that view Japanese from afar, dive into its depths, and travel through a universe of words.
