Shiraishi, described by Donald Keene as \"the outstanding poetic voice of her generation of disengagement in Japan,\" sees the world in a grain of rice and finds poetry in a mountain-road traffic jam. In the haunting title poem, she visits Iwanuma not long after the disastrous tsunami hit in 2011 and finds \"no houses but a place where houses had been.\" This pamphlet also includes a long, lyrical homage to Yukio Mishima, as well as playful and profound meditations on a Roman condom, lizard god, god of war, and an ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuko Shiraishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811226956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811226950\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 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.30d","brand":"Kazuko Shiraishi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947271717119,"sku":"9780811226950","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e6164fe6-5f2d-45a1-bec8-66e2c415b77e.jpg?v=1681517730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sea-land-shadow-kazuko-shiraishi-9780811226950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
