A Paradise of Poets is Jerome Rothenberg's tenth book of poetry to be published by New Directions, beginning with his Poland/1931(1974). In considering the title of his newest collection, he says: "Writing poetry for me has always included an involvement with the life of poetry--& through that life an intensification, when it happened, of my involvement with the other life around me. In an earlier poem I spoke of this creating a paradise of poets ... I do not of course believe that such a paradise exists in any supernatural or mystical sense, but I have sometimes felt it come to life among my fellow poets and, even more, in writing--in the body of the poem." In Rothenberg's hands, the body of the poem is an extraordinarily malleable object. Collage, translation, even visual improvisation serve to open up his latest book to the presence of poets and artists he has known and to others, past and present, who he feels have somehow touched him, among them Nakahara Chuya, Jackson Mac Low, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Federico Garcia Lorca, Kurt Schwitters, and Vitezslav Nezval. Kenneth Rexroth once commented: "Jerome Rothenberg is one of our truly great American poets who has returned U.S. poetry to the mainstream of international modern literature. No one has dug deeper into the roots of poetry." With A Paradise of Poets, it is clear that this evaluation is as fresh today as it was twenty-five years ago.

Often referred to as the "Father of the Japanese short story," Ry nosuke Akutagawa lived only to be thirty-five, his life prematurely ended by his suicide. He wrote over 150 short stories in his short life of which "Rash mon" is one of his most famous. This story recounts the encounter between a servant and an old woman, both who are struggling to survive in the sparse times that they find themselves.

The old woman who is stealing the hair from unclaimed corpses to make wigs argues that one must do what one can to survive. Also included in this collection are the following stories: "Tobacco and The Devil," "The Nose," "The Handkerchief," "Lice," "The Spider's Thread," "The Wine Worm," "The Badger," "The Ball," "The Pipe," and "Mori Sensei."

THE YEAR 2020 was the year the world turned inward. We may have stayed at home, but this was a time to look deeply inside ourselves to find connections that we carry in us with all people all around the world. ACCLAIMED AUTHOR and translator Roger Pulvers recorded a hundred readings for his YouTube channel "Roger Pulvers Reads." This became a popular site for people from many countries to connect with each other through the profound beauty and consummate wisdom of poetry. THESE ARE ICONIC poems in their home countries-Russia, Poland, Japan-each appearing here in a brilliantly unique voice. Most of these poems were read on the YouTube channel, but there are newly translated ones as well, from the prophetic warning of revolution by the Russian poet Nikolai Gumilev, to the droll and sagacious haiku of Kobayashi Issa; from the satirical black humor of the Polish poet Julian Tuwim to the erotic tanka of the feminist poet Yosano Akiko. ALL POETS are given insightful biographical background commentary on their art, life and times; and many of the poems come with clear explanatory notes. The poets appearing here describe not only affairs of the heart but also upheaval and revolution, exile and betrayal, and encounters and events that are often brimming with hilarity and wit, proving without a doubt that poetry is the lifeblood of a nation. "May these poems bring you a bit of inspiration," writes Roger Pulvers in his Introduction, "a good deal of consolation and much much joy."

"Even while boasting of its rapid strength and speed," Kiriu Minashita says in the afterword to Sonic Peace, "the world is being ecstatically eroded by the violent rewriting of meaning." Sonic Peace is a work of extreme genius and unassailable critique, fused with beauty and lightheartedness: a love story set against the backdrop of an apocalyptic Tokyo. Published in Japan in 2005, Sonic Peace won the celebrated Chuya Nakahara Prize in 2006, and solidified Minashita's status as one of the most important critical Japanese voices of her generation.
