 | 左川ちか詩集 The Collected Poems of Chika Sagawa (Modern Library Torchbearers) Sagawa, Chika/ Nakayasu, Sawako (TRN) 紙版刊行: 2020/08 Modern Library

北海道余市出身。昭和初期忽然と現れ夭折した気鋭詩人の詩集、詩人・中保佐和子による英訳。Growing up in isolated rural Japan, Sagawa moved to Tokyo at seventeen, and begin publishing her work at eighteen.She was immediately recognized as a leading light of the male-dominated Japanese literary scene; her work combines striking, unique imagery with Western influences. The results are short, sharp, surreal poems about human fragility and the beauty of nature from Japan’s first female Modernist poet. |
