{"product_id":"let-those-who-appear-samuel-grolmes-9780811215107","title":"Let Those Who Appear: Poetry","description":"Over twenty-five years ago New Directions, at the urging of Kenneth Rexroth, published \u003ci\u003eSeasons of Sacred Lust\u003c\/i\u003e, a selection of poems by a young Japanese writer, Kazuko Shiraishi. Since then the book has gone through several printings and toured around the world, accompanying Ms. Shiraishi to almost any country one can think of, places where she gave readings and participated in various poetry events. Indeed, because of Shiraishi's travels, \u003ci\u003eSeasons\u003c\/i\u003e is probably one of the most widely-distributed books in the New Directions catalog. However, by now \u003ci\u003eSeasons\u003c\/i\u003e has become dated. It has been followed by more than fifteen new collections and Shiraishi has matured beyond her early Beat-related work; her poetry has developed an impressive range and depth. \u003ci\u003eLet Those Who Appear\u003c\/i\u003e contains selections from various recently-published books as carefully translated by Yumiko Tsumura and Samuel Grolmes. The title poem is from Shiraishi's 1996 book which received three prestigious awards in Japanthe Yomiuri Literature Award, the Takami Jun Poetry Award, and the Purple Ribbon Medal from the Emperor of Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Grolmes,Kazuko Shiraishi,Yumiko Tsumura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811215105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811215107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.42h x 7.96w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/25\/2002 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/25\/2002","brand":"Samuel Grolmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47304778154239,"sku":"9780811215107","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76ffea0d-ed0c-47b2-9096-1470257ba80d.jpg?v=1758829138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/let-those-who-appear-samuel-grolmes-9780811215107","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
