雲の名前
Samine Zon's second poetry collection looks at an ever-changing world and singular lives, using clouds, letters, voices, and bodily sensation to give words to what has not yet been named. Sequences of words that seem to move beyond the structure of Japanese open landscapes connected to another world.
