Poems from a Japanese poet who died in 1940 and wrote war poetry from the standpoint of chinese victims of the Japanese army
Hard. Fine, as New/Fine, as New. Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies, Number 3. Translated and with an introduction by David G. Goodman. "Oguma's poems are like brilliant points of light in a dark valley--beautiful, intense, unwavering. David Goodman's superb translations do more than introduce us to a courageous man and remarkable writer. They also illuminate Japan and the Japanese of the 1920s and 1930s in startling, unforgettable ways."--John W. Dower, Joseph Naiman Professor of History and Japanese Studies, University of California, San Diego.
