QuickviewNon Sequitur Syndrome by Goro Takano
PoetryIn this book, the desire for clarity is pitted against the lust for ambiguity, and the desire to be saved collides with the urge to self-destruct. Also, in this book, what I am (as male, father, widower, heterosexual, poet, Japanese native living in Japan, and so on) coexists with what I am not. —Goro Takano$16.00 -
QuickviewResponsibilities of the Obsessed by Goro Takano
PoetryTelephones ring “hollow and blank”; “He has no idea what he’ll become. / All he knows is / that tomorrow will be a sunny day / for everybody else.” Dementia and demolished nuclear plants in an immense desert: the artificial landscapes created by Goro Takano in his second book are chillingly, and humorously, real. —Jane Joritz-Nakagawa$16.00 -
QuickviewSilent Whistle-Blowers by Goro Takano
PoetryGoro Takano's restless, deadpan, corkscrew imagination conjures prose poems, quatrains and stories that celebrate the life force and, if you believe his unreliable narrator, promote peace. I can't help thinking what this writer's "self-dramatizing practice" aims to unleash are not "silent whistle-blowers" so much as audible mind-blowers. Readers, be warned. —Alan Botsford$16.00 -
QuickviewSunday Double Suicide by Goro Takano
New Releases, PoetryIn my poetry, orderly chaos reigns. You will keep feeling countless lessons in love and solitude loom up through the mad torrent of myriad images in this book. I hope reading this book will somehow help you navigate your own way through everyday realities. —Goro Takano$16.00 -
