Los Angeles, California: Green Integer Books, 2002. Green Integer 57. One in the Marjorie G. Perloff Series of International Poetry. 320pp. Glossy pictorial card covers. Paperback Original. A collection of poems by the noted modernist Japanese poet, Hagiwara Sakutaro. These two books, published here in complete translation are some of the most noted of Japanese 20th century poetry. Howling at the Moon was first published in 1917 and Blue was published in 1923. Born in a wealthy family, Hagiwara read Western authors such as Poe, Nietzsche, Schopenhaurer, and Dojstoevsky, devoting himself early in the century to create a new Japanese poetics. He is the author of several books of poetry, a work of fiction, and Principles of Poetry. Born in 1886, he died in 1946. Edited by Per Bregne, Green Integer publishes a wide variety of works by leading artists, critics and historians. Some titles are new works by contemporary artists, others are important but overlooked works by some of history's greatest writers, and yet others, by great writers both living and long ago passed, represent significant international works which have never before been published in English. The smaller format of most of the books (6" x 4.25") make these important works highly portable for those who don't want to sacrifice their love of literature and learning for lack of a structured space and time for reading. Works published to date include critical essays, interviews, poems, plays, fragments of suppressed writings, radio dialogs, journals, philosophical essays, short fiction, speeches and novels. Green Integer is in many ways to avant-garde writing the New Directions of the 21st Century. As new condition. No remainder markings.. First Edition. Paperback. Fine.
