at Dawn 
Selected poems by Hideo Yokokawa

TThe most important thing for us to live through the modern era is the bliss extended to us by nature, as well as the fine arts for our five senses. This book of poetry is designed and edited for a wide range of readers, and, even if you are not familiar with modern poetry or even not interested in it, you may read and enjoy it. Above all, I do not stand for any particular thought, religion or group at all. I wrote for you, the individual, an independent existence. --    Author
 

 


Carrying Water in a Sieve
Selected 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.

Nature's Misteries
Selected poems by Samuel E. Stone
Mother nature is a world of complexity beyond the realm of our reasoning yet holds the simple pleasures and beauty that touches
our very soul; from a blade of grass to the sky above nature provides us with a spiritual journey where we can discover inner peace

Always Messing with them Boys

Selected pPoems by Jessica Helen Lopez
Poetry is neither logic nor sense nor technique.
It is exclamation, tear, sadness, joy, sorrow, anger.
Above all, it is an inevitable love.
Poetry is an existence of yours.
You made a debut into our poet fellowship
for your inevitability.
--- Hideo Yokokawa



Pillars of A Landscape
Selected 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.
--- Yuichiro Anzai
