Are You an Echo?: The Lost Poetry of Misuzu Kaneko

64 pp. | Chin Music | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-63405-962-6 $19.50
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Toshikado Hajiri. Translated by Sally Ito and Michiko Tsuboi. Part biography, part poetry collection, the book begins with Jacobson's sensitive biographical narrative of Japanese children's poet Misuzu Kaneko's grim life (she committed suicide at twenty-six). The second half features fifteen of Kaneko's child-centered, empathetic poems printed in English first, then Japanese. Hajiri's illustrations capture time and place in addition to rendering delicate close-up views of the world from a young child's viewpoint.
