2 peopleThis sixth poetry collection by Sai Kamite explores forms of love directed toward longing, the self, family, nature, the divine, and the age through dialogues with various versions of you. With softness and humor, it looks toward the place of dialogue beneath daily life and poetic making.
Like a bookmark ribbon, the poems quietly keep waiting at the place of dialogue with you.
This poetry collection by Tan Hattori captures moments when everyday scenery suddenly turns into unfamiliar ground. Street corners, trains, memory, and traces of earthquake experience are held as quiet gaps in the ordinary.
With the delicacy of shaving a crescent moon, the poems catch small moments of strangeness within everyday life.
