It traces his artistic development and his shift in focus from man's cosmic destiny to the pathos of everyday life and a more internalized struggle with the nature of human expression. Lovers of poetry will find the experience exhilarating. The only such collection in English, this volume will prove indispensable to students and scholars of Japanese literature, as it opens a valuable new perspective on postware Japanese literature. The Introduction clarifies the social and artistic background of Tanikawa's extraordinary work and career, illuminating major themes as his poetry evolves over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanikawa Shuntaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University - Cornell East Asia Series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell East Asia #157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.8lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933947570","brand":"Cornell University - Cornell East Asia Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42440538554505,"sku":"9781933947570","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5c9322d2-9d49-4661-97e9-a1db0aa173e5.jpg?v=1716238955","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/tanikawa-shuntaro-the-art-of-being-alone-poems-1952-2009-9781933947570","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
