River of Stars: Selected Poems by Keiko Matsui Gibson, Sam Hamill, Akiko Yosano

emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

“In return for all
the sins and crimes of men,
the gods created me
with glistening long black hair
and pale, inviting skin.”

First time getting into Japanese poetry and wanted to start with a female poet, it was a good decision to start with Yosano Akiko. Such an inspiring woman.
