Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

(4.7 stars; 6 reviews)

"Yone Noguchi was an influential Japanese writer of poetry, fiction, essays, and literary criticism in both English and Japanese. Critical evaluations of Noguchi, while varying drastically, have frequently stressed the enigmatic character of his work. Arthur Symons referred to him as a "scarcely to be apprehended personality." Arthur Ransome called him "a poet whose poems are so separate that a hundred of them do not suffice for his expression." Ezra Pound, on first reading The Pilgrimage in 1911 wrote that "His poems seem to be rather beautiful. I don't quite know what to think about them." Nishiwaki Junzaburō wrote, "Most of his earlier poems have always seemed to me so terrific, so bewildering, as to startle me out of reason or system." - Summary by Wikipedia (1 hr 52 min)

Reseñas

Poetry that sinks into my soul.


(4.5 stars)

I've listened to about half of these poems, so far and know I will go back to them regularly, since you can listen to any number of them and in any order. They share the focus on nature that is what makes Japanese poetry so important to me. It is interesting to read in the LibraVox introduction, that Yone Noguchi wrote both in English and Japanese. I would like to learn more about him. I am now reading his "The American Diary of a Japanese Girl". I thought this author was a female at first and that confusion was added to because of his writings as if by a female narrator.

Great poems and readers


(5 stars)

The poems are powerful sometimes, playful other times, and always an imaginative topic. The readers really did a good job with this book.
