The Sun Rises Again

"If the sun doesn't rise there, I'll be the sun."

In The Sun Rises Again, Japanese poet Yuu Ikeda offers a luminous meditation on hope as an act of faith. Across twenty-six spare, tender lyrics, nameless flowers bloom unseen, contrails stitch strangers together, and a winged moon keeps vigil over the lonely. Ikeda's voice is direct and unguarded, addressing a beloved "you" with the fierce devotion of Selene watching over Endymion.

This is poetry will unwrap the misty cocoon around your heart...
