{"product_id":"river-of-stars-selected-poems-of-yosano-akiko","title":"River of Stars: Selected Poems of Yosano Akiko","description":"Yosano Akiko (1878-942) is one of the most famous Japanese writers of the twentieth century. She is the author of more than seventy-five books, including twenty volumes of original poetry and the definitive translation into modern Japanese of the Tale of the Genji. Although probably best known for her exquisite erotic poetry, Akiko's work also championed the causes of feminism, pacifism, and social reform. Akiko's poetry is profoundly direct, often passionate, exposing the complexity of everyday emotions in poetic language stripped of artifice and presenting the full breadth of her poetic vision. Included are ninety-one of Akiko's tanka (a traditional five-line form of verse) and a dozen of her longer poems written in the modern style.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1570621462\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1570621462.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yosano Akiko|Hamill, Sam|Gibson, Keiko Matsui\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
