Más información sobre el libro
Bringing together the Japanese tradition of poetic compactness, a fascination with America and the West, and a love of words that transcends specific culture and language altogether, Shuntaro Tanikawa is an international treasure. Japan's most popular and esteemed living poet, his sixty-plus volumes have been translated into fifteen languages. In Selected Poems, choice work from eleven books written over the course of his ongoing fifty-year career is ripe with curiosity, candor and play. What's more, his range is breathtaking. Whether focusing on an object (scissors, pebble), an artist (W.H. Auden, John Coltrane), or a geography (Salzburg, the Pacific Northwest), Tanikawa is insatiable in his imaginings of his subject's condition, infinite in his compassion and willingness to consider the world close at hand, and far removed.
