Praise for Shuntaro Tanikawa 'What poetry and protests have in common, perhaps, is that they are both a means to interfere with the noise of dominant culture. The poetic voice of the Japanese master Shuntaro Tanikawa allows us to perceive our life and take a break from it, when we are left at a loss to deal with it alone.'

Quote of the Day Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.
