at
Dawn
Selected 174 poems by Hideo Yokokawa
The
poetry of Hideo Yokokawa strikes me right away as deeply honest and
immediate in intent and in expression of human feeling. I believe it is because of this
essential integrity that he frequently comes upon phrasing both felicitous
and profound. His use of the English language is often beautiful in
its direct simplicity, a welcome diversion from the tortured mode now popular, and his poetic observations are both
original and just.

Beyond Love and Prayer
Selected 180 poems by Phyllis Hoge Thompson
From the
first, for Phyllis Hoge Thompson herself, poetry has been the
most reliable
world expanding far beyond the daily lives of love belief and
prayer. Her world of poetry is deeply limpid, often
joyous, sometimes
sad but always courageous standing firmly on the land.
Here half her life devoted to
pure art has been presented
silently.
--- Hideo Yokokawa .

Carrying Water in a Sieve
Selected 79 poems by Jeanne Shannon
"How
to express" is an important factor for poetry. In this respect, with
her limpid intelligence, matured knowledge and condensed laconism, Jeanne Shannon
has
succeeded in creating a unique method by utilizing words which usually
are only distantly related to the standard/traditional diction of
poetry. Also, I like her attentiveness
to the natural world, which is
highly regarded by many readers over here in
Japan, too.

Pillars of A Landscape
Selected
64 poems by Aftab Seth
He shows
the poet's spiritual landscapes, touches and arouses something lying deep
inside one's heart. Whether it is a joy, a sorrow or a pain, people see
their lives more gently, and are encouraged to experience various aspects
of their life much deeper in their future. The landscape in his spirit and
his deep insights into life have surely inspired me. Now I will continue to
read his poems much deeper to follow his spirits and to inspire me
more.
