{"product_id":"spectacle-pigsty-9781890650537","title":"Spectacle \u0026 Pigsty","description":"If you think of haiku when you think of Japanese poetry, this book will be a huge surprise. The strange and wild poems of Kiwao Nomura deal with sex and loss and memory by making unpredictable leaps of association. Imagine Fugazi singing philosophy and you get close. Inspired by shamanism, Kiwao Nomura sounds like nothing you've ever heard before and like something you want to hear over and over. He is one of the two or three of the most influential living Japanese poets, and his work will be as stunningly original and compelling to contemporary Americans as haiku was to the late Victorians. Anyone interested in making contact with Japanese culture will want to read Spectacle \u0026amp; Pigsty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890650537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Best Translated Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kiwao Nomura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51258221854901,"sku":"9781890650537","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7a8db38f-40e3-4e5e-9ae0-10234552e5e0.jpg?v=1750814449","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/spectacle-pigsty-9781890650537","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
