Now ranked among the finest Japanese verse of the 20th century, influenced by both Symbolism and Dada FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Born in 1907 Nakahara Chuya was one of the most gifted and colourful of Japans early modern poets. A bohemian romantic, his death at the early age of thirty, coupled with the delicacy of his imagery, have led to him being compared to the greatest of French symbolist poets.Since the Second World War Nakaharas stature has risen, and his poetry is now ranked among the finest Japanese verse of the 20th century. Influenced by both Symbolism and Dada, he created lyrics renowned for their songlike eloquence, their personal imagery and their poignant charm. This selection of poems from throughout Nakaharas creative life includes collected and uncollected work and draws on recent scholarship to give a full account of this extraordinary figure. Review Nakahara is a representative modern poet . . . His poetry has immediate visual and musical appeal, with flashes of Dadaist humour mixed with lines of haunting melancholy. The substantial preface by the gifted translators is an excellent introduction to his widely eccentric life, and to the fascinating story of modern Japanese poets. - JAMES KIRKUP Since [Nakaharas] death he has gradually come to be recognized as one of the major poets of modern Japan . . . the translators have more than accomplished their purpose, to provide "tolerable English verse." It is very good verse. It is eminently deserving of publication, and one hopes that it will attract wide attention. - EDWARD SEIDENSTICKER Conveys well the Japanese poets offbeat mixture of pathos and humour. - D J ENRIGHT No modern Japanese poet has better realized the auditory possibilities of the language. - KATO SHUICHI Review Quote Nakahara is a representative modern poet . . .
