SPONTANEOUS MIND, 55 tanka poems from Boulder, Colorado

SPONTANEOUS MIND, 55 tanka poems from Boulder, Colorado
by Dimitar Anakiev

English/Japanese collection

"Most of those 55 tanka I wrote in a day, in Boulder, Colorado. This poems are my dedication to Allen Ginsberg and other poets of Beat Generation that marked my youth with poetic enthusiasm. At the time of Beatniks tanka was not so popular as today. That is why this book is perhaps the first explicit wedding of tanka and philosophy of the Beats. And I was supposed to go to Boulder, Colorado, for this to happen..." (From the FOREWORD by Dimitar Anakiev)

Poems are translated into Japanese and commented by Mutsuo Shukuya.
