This definitive bilingual edition of Chuya Nakahara (1907?1937) brings the most dynamic voice in Japanese early Modernist poetry to English-language readers. Goat Songs and Songs of Bygone Days?the two volumes that Chuya prepared for publication during his brief lifetime?are presented in luminous translations by poet Christian Nagle that capture the music, formal integrity and soul of the original poems.
With an extensive biographical and critical introduction, foreword by leading Chuya scholar Mikiro Sasaki, rare archival photographs and informative notes, this volume offers an indispensable gateway to one of Japan's most brilliant writers.
With free online audio recordings of the poems in Japanese and English.
