Ban'ya Natsuishi: Earth Pilgrimage
The latest collection by Ban'ya Natsuishi to come my way is EARTH PILGRIMAGE.
The text is in Japanese, English (translations by the author and Jim Kacian) and Italian (translations by Luca Toma). There is a preface by Julius Franzot and a postcript by Giorgio Gazzolo, both in Italian but without an English translation.
My favourites from the collection are:
Scattered here and there
on the ground of an island
the elements for life
On the pitch-black
horizon
the shark's bride
Searching for
the 13th floor
New York evening
Black thrushes in a squabble—
this wall lasting
two thousand years
A church on the rooftop
the memory of blood
not yet restored
