Are You an Echo?: The Lost Poetry of Misuzu Kaneko

About This Book

Beloved Japanese children’s poet Misuzu Kaneko wonders: What does snow feel in a drift? Where does day end and night begin? From her seaside home Kaneko writes, but as her fame grows, her family life becomes increasingly strained. In this double-sided, color-illustrated children s book, new English translations of her poetry appear next to Japanese originals, interwoven with her life story.
