Work Information
Like moonlight and earthshine meeting, the collection brings together scientific attention and lived experience.
Earthshine, published in the Tower 21st Century series, is Taku Tanaka's tanka collection. Around the celestial image suggested by its title, it moves between the perspective of a researcher and the felt reality of ordinary life.
Review Summaries
-
The collection is valued for how its scientific vocabulary and imagination expand the range of everyday tanka. Its appeal lies not only in cosmic abstraction but also in its ties to bodily feeling and daily detail.
