Killing Kanoko / Wild Grass on the Riverbank - Hiromi Ito - Bog

A landmark dual collection by one of the most important contemporary Japanese poets, in a "generous and beautifully rendered" translation. Now widely taught as a feminist classic, KILLING KANOKO is a defiantly autobiographical exploration of sexuality, community, and postpartum depression. WILD GRASS ON THE RIVERBANK won the 2006 Takami Jun Prize.
