About this Item

Paperback. Incisive and loving at the same time, Forever Forest Upper Field paints a portrait of Japan from a perspective that, like the elephant in the room, is almost never breached nor openly admitted, but rather felt through the bodies of the haunting and unnamed characters traversing through the lonely landscapes and vacant city squares in the prose-sketches, full of human warmth in the pockets of spaces remaining where the governing forces have not yet rendered them lifeless, glowing in the deep of the night, that read like the voice of a lighthouse in the uncomfortable silence. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
