註釋
"Ferris wheel delivers the world of modern Japanese tanka to Western readers. Astonishingly complex imagery and emotions condensed into 31 syllables are the hallmarks of these evocative vignettes. Tanka have been an essential part of Japan's literary aesthetic for more than 1,3000 years, and "Ferris Wheel" shows how modern masters have renewed tanka as a dynamic expression of the evolving way the Japanese see themselves, each other, and the world. In this collection, Kozue Uzawa and Amelia Fielden translate 101 poems -- many appearing for the first time in English -- that combine classical form and an unmistakably modern sensibility. Each poem is presented in three forms on the same page: in English translation, in romanized transliteration, and in the original Japanese. This format makes "Ferris Wheel" as relevant to translators and students of Japanese as it is welcoming to everyone interested in Japanese poetry." -- provided by publisher
