A review by iloinenilo
The Poems of Nakahara Chuya by Chūya Nakahara

inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Ah, through cowardice, for a long time, a really long time, we have busied ourselves with vanities, have forgotten to cry, really forgotten to cry

It was so pleasant to fall into the dreamlike writing style of this collection. The themes of seasons, of nature and of the moon are still relevant today and I may have underlined a few too many lines. The way Chuuya talks about memories, grief, love (and the hope of it) is beautiful. I’ll return to these pages over and over again.
