Synopsis
This book of poetry is a timely collection of powerful meditations on pacifism in a world moving toward the catastrophic events of the First World War. Inspired by the famous antiwar poem "In Flanders Fields," this literary work is notable for the inclusion of traditional Japanese forms like haiku and hokkai. The author's opposition to war extends to a critical examination of militarism and tyrannical authority, exemplified by the poem “Gerhard of Ryle,” a dramatic depiction of a battle between a relentless bishop and his cathedral’s pacifist architect. Throughout the book, the author unflinchingly explores the inevitability of war and the widespread human suffering it brings. This book is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the brutality and futility of armed conflict.
