every man I know
has a prisoner moaning
deep down in his heart
- Takuboku
Ishikawa -
This book is a
selection from Ishikawa's youthful poems, and a complete imagining into English
of his final collection known in English as Grieving Playthings, Sad Toys, and
more specifically Suffering Playthings. For over 100 years Ishikawa's work has
been exciting for the modern reader because he was among the very first to
bring the depths of his inner turmoil as a human being to life on the page.
The beautiful cover art is by Zara Kand!
