Description
An eleventh-century classic, The Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon is frequently paired with The Tale of Genji as one of the most important works in the Japanese canon. Yet it has also been marginalized within Japanese literature for reasons including the gender of its author, the work's complex textual history, and its thematic and stylistic depth. In Unbinding The Pillow Book, Gergana Ivanova offers a reception history of The Pillow Book and its author...

Description
Katie Vatour's extraordinary debut collection is an eclectic examination of the space where humans and animals meet, where migratory patterns encounter commercial flights, and birds appear as fishermen, security guards, and street performers. There are riffs on the chameleon and lyrebird, odes to buffalo and shark. With poems that are at once intuitive yet idiosyncratic, visceral yet cerebral, and that flourish an unconventional sense of effortless...

Description
I am glass,
But I am not your crystal glass,
Transmitting light beyond its depth,
I hold the beauty of my reflections
I Am Glass is a collection of poems that explores what it means to be human and captures the bittersweet essence of life's moments. The poems speak to a greater truth: we are all similar in the way we love, heal, question, and prevail. The book is broken into six distinct parts with each section providing an intimate look into a facet...

English
Description
In Brood, Kimiko Hahn trains her eye on the commonplace-clothespins, bees, papaya, perfume, poached eggs, a sponge, fire, sand dollars-and reveals their very essence in concise evocative language. Underlying these little gems is a sense of loss, a mother's death or a longing for childhood. "Brood" connotes the bundling of family or beasts, but also dark thinking, and both are at play here where the less said, the better.

Author

English
Description
This hauntingly spare and subtle poetry collection consists of six sequences: during one month each year, for six years, Martha Collins wrote a short poem each day. With perfectly distilled lines, she captures the aching, liminal beauty of one day becoming another-the slow burn of time passing, the ambiguity of an "old / new leaf" turning over, even as she collages a wide range of material that includes often disturbing news of the world.
