Paperback. Condition: Good. Winner of the 2020 PEN Open Book AwardBest of 2019: Nonfiction - Entropy MagazineA memoir and book of mourning, a grandson?s attempt to reconcile his own uncontested citizenship with his grandfather?s lifelong struggle.Award-winning poet Brandon Shimoda has crafted a lyrical portrait of his paternal grandfather, Midori Shimoda, whose life?child migrant, talented photographer, suspected enemy alien and spy, desert wanderer, American citizen?mirrors the arc of Japanese America in the twentieth century. In a series of pilgrimages, Shimoda records the search to find his grandfather, and unfolds, in the process, a moving elegy on memory and forgetting.Praise for The Grave on the Wall:"Shimoda brings his poetic lyricism to this moving and elegant memoir, the structure of which reflects the fragmentation of memories. ? It is at once wistful and devastating to see Midori's life come full circle ? In between is a life with tragedy, love, and the horrors unleashed by the atomic bomb."?Booklist, starred review"In a weaving meditation, Brandon Shimoda pens an elegant eulogy for his grandfather Midori, yet also for the living, we who survive on the margins of graveyards and rituals of our own making."?Karen Tei Yamashita, author of Letters to Memory"Sometimes a work of art functions as a dream. At other times, a work of art functions as a conscience. In the tradition of Juan Rulfo?s Pedro Páramo, Brandon Shimoda's The Grave on the Wall is both. It is also the type of fragmented reckoning only America could instigate."?Myriam Gurba, author of Mean?Within this haunted sepulcher built out of silence, loss, and grief?its walls shadowed by the traumas of racial oppression and violence?a green river lined with peach trees flows beneath a bridge that leads back to the grandson."?Jeffrey Yang, author of Hey, Marfa: Poems"It is part dream, part memory, part forgetting, part identity. It is a remarkable exploration of how citizenship is forged by the brutal US imperial forces?through slave labor, forced detention, indiscriminate bombing, historical amnesia and wall. If someone asked me, Where are you from? I would answer, From The Grave on the Wall."?Don Mee Choi, author of Hardly War"Shimoda intercedes into the absences, gaps and interstices of the present and delves the presence of mystery. This mystery is part of each of us. Shimoda outlines that mystery in silence and silhouette, in objects left behind at site-specific travels to Japan and in the disparate facts of his grandpa?s FBI file. Gratitude to Brandon Shimoda for taking on the mystery which only literature accepts as the basic challenge."?Sesshu Foster, author of City of the Future"Shimoda is a mystic writer ? He puts what breaches itself (always) onto the page, so that the act of writing becomes akin to paper-making: an attention to fibers, coagulation, texture and the water-fire mixtures that signal irreversible alteration or change. ? he has written a book that touches the bottom of my own soul."?Bhanu Kapil, author of Ban en Banlieue"The Grave on the Wall is a passage of aching nostalgia and relentless assembly out of which something more important than objective truth is conjured?a ritual frisson, a veracity of spirit. I am grateful to have traveled along.??Trisha Low, The Believer"It's not just a document from which Brandon Shimoda untangles the dead, but it's a portal through which the ghosts can show themselves to him. To exchange that kind of attention between the living and the dead is love."?Zachary Schomburg, Willamette Week.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Shortlisted for the 2026 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, Nonfiction!Chosen one of Booklist's Top Ten History Books of the Year!Winner of the Colorado Book Award for Creative Nonfiction"The Afterlife Is Letting Go is a meditative consideration of Japanese American incarceration during WWII by Brandon Shimoda, author of the PEN Open Book Award?winning The Grave on the Wall."?Matt Seidel, Publishers Weekly's "Big Indie Books""Both personal and choral, The Afterlife is Letting Go is deeply felt, precise, and as generous in its insights as it is unsparing in its critiques of how 'exclusion zones' proliferate and reach across time and space. A stirring, trenchant, and necessary work."?Christina Sharpe, author of Ordinary NotesIn a series of reflective, multi-layered, sometimes multi-voiced essays, poet Brandon Shimoda explores the ?afterlife? of the U.S. government?s forced removal and mass incarceration of Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans during WWII, excavating the ways these events continue to resonate today. What emerges is a panoramic, yet intimate portrait of intergenerational trauma and healing.Informed by personal/familial history, years of research and travel, including visits to museums, memorials and the ruins of incarceration sites, these essays take us on both a physical and a metaphysical journey. What becomes increasingly clear are the infinite connections between the treatment of Japanese Americans and other forms of oppression, criminalization, dispossession, and state violence enacted by the United States, past, present, and ongoing.…
