| Synopsis: |
This critical study examines the evolution of prose poetry in Japan during the twentieth century and demonstrates how from small French-inspired beginnings the form has risen to become part of the national poetic tradition. The book consists of nine chapters, concentrating selectively on key poets, key movements, and the progressive impact of the times in shaping themes. Many of the poems discussed have not previously been accessible to English-speaking readers in translation, and consequently the poets - particularly the poets of today - remain unknown. It includes contemporary Japanese criticism, and topics range from the early romanticism of Hagiwara Sakutaro to the modernist preoccupation with language as a subject for poetry in its own right. Of particular interest is the persistence of Zen Buddhist philosophy underpinning themes throughout the decades. |
