What is Like Underground Water: The Poetry of Mid-Twentieth Century Japan about?
<p><P>A richly dynamic, one-of-a-kind collection of over 240 poems from eighty leading Japanese poets.</p><h3>Library Journal</h3><p>Covering 80 poets and 240 poems, this comprehensive volume spans the decade before World War II, when surrealist poets dominated, to poets born in 1939 and thus touched by the war. They were influenced by French symbolists, American beats, and other Western poets but always followed their own voice, which usually rebelled against strict Japanese devices (tanka, haiku, waka), and experimented with ambiguities and forms. The effective translations by English professors suggest a Western sensibility. Unfortunately, the poets are presented in strictly chronological order, so their one-paragraph biographies do not help to group them by movement, style, or influences. Recommended for comprehensive public library poetry collections.Kitty Chen Dean, Nassau Coll., Garden City, N.Y.</p>
