The classical poetry of Japan focuses on direct experience of fleeting moments, in total contrast with its Occidental counterpart. These seminal poems were passed down orally, before great collections reassembled works of art spanning several centuries in written form as early as the 8th century, from the Kojiki to the Kokinshu. Later, a number of female writers rose to prominence (Murasaki Shikibu, Sei Shonagon); then in the 17th century, the haiku form became extremely popular, in large part due to the work of Matsuo Bashō, a prolific writer and traveler.

"Trött en natt jag satt och drömde vid en gammal bok, där glömde, bakom seklers förlåt gömde tankar hägrade förbi. Knappt jag börjat slumra, förr än något knackade på dörren, något pickade på dörren - ticketick det ljöd däri." En mörk decemberkväll sitter en man vid sin brasa och läser. När det plötsligt knackar på dörren och en korp står därutanför påbörjas en kedja av händelser som tar berättaren på en långsam färd ner i vansinnet.

"Beklædning mod kvinder" er den overraskende gennembrudsdigtsamling fra Pulitzer-vinderen Anne Boyer. Digtene undersøger erfaringer forbundet med køn, klasse, arbejde, økonomi og sygdom – men mest af alt er de en afsøgning af, hvordan vi overlever at skulle overleve. Bogen er egentlig skrevet i en periode, hvor Boyer havde opgivet at forsørge sig selv og sit barn ved at skrive, hvilket giver bogen en følelse af at være lige dele nødvendig og nysgerrig.
