Work Information

A poetry collection that follows memory, the dead, and the distant course of language from the edge of a river.

Published by Shoshi Yamada in 1998, this collection by Chimako Tada develops reflections on rivers, the dead, the body, and language through a poetic figure suggested in its book-band text and through mythic, fantastical expression. It received the 16th Contemporary Poetry Hanatsubaki Award.
