Poetry. "Without the least strain, Jane Joritz-Nakagawa takes readers on a carnivalesque tour of American culture in language that splices together the strange heights and depths of the terrain. Her ear is tuned to what makes the language live and there's eye candy too: lithe cuts and jumps that make each line worthy of notice. EXHIBIT C is a rare pleasure"--Maxine Chernoff. "Jane Joritz-Nakagawa's poems partake readily in the pleasures of freshly arranged particles and atoms of language. Frequenting a realm of happy appropriation, she daringly reorders and disrupts conventional poetic expectations--and she often conducts this pretty quickly. Readers, be alert"--Pam Brown. Originally from the US, poet and activist Jane Joritz-Nakagawa is now based in central Japan. She works as an associate professor at a Japanese national university of education, where she teaches courses in American poetry, pedagogy, gender, and intercultural studies.
