Sonic Peace
"Even while boasting of its rapid strength and speed," Kiriu Minashita says in the afterword to Sonic Peace, "the world is being ecstatically eroded by the violent rewriting of meaning." Sonic Peace is a work of extreme genius and unassailable critique, fused with beauty and lightheartedness: a love story set against the backdrop of an apocalyptic Tokyo. Published in Japan in 2005, Sonic Peace won the celebrated Chuya Nakahara Prize in 2006, and solidified Minashita's status as one of the most important critical Japanese voices of her generation.
Four from Japan
Poetry. Translated from the Japanese by Sawako Nakayasu, Ryoko Sekiguchi and Cole Swensen.

Published collaboratively by Belladonna Books and Litmus Press in honor of the Festival of Contemporary Japanese Women Poets with support by NYSCA.
Is It Poetry?
A profound collection of poetry from Japanese poet Hirata, expounding on readership and everyday life. American readers’ awareness of contemporary Japan, through literature and poetry, has increased in recent decades, but many are still left with little means of understanding the everyday cultural phenomena that makes Japanese culture what it is. Hirata uses her poems to genuinely investigate aspects of Japanese culture in a way that makes it easy for the reader to understand, and she has an extraordinary way of breaking down a normal event, like seeing an old man riding a bicycle in a park, into a journey that elucidates something profound. Her poems gain prosody while keeping a core narrative aspect which is colored with her own dark and warm artistic lens. Every poem in Is It Poetry? helps the reader understand and think about what is to be cherished, feared, loved, and what is not.

Major versus Minor? – Languages and Literatures in a Globalized World
Do the notions of “World Lingua Franca” and “World Literature” now need to be firmly relegated to an imperialist-cum-colonialist past? Or can they be rehabilitated in a practical and equitable way that fully endorses a politics of recognition? For scholars in the field of languages and literatures, this is the central dilemma to be faced in a world that is increasingly globalized. In this book, the possible banes and benefits of globalization are illuminated from many different viewpoints by scholars based in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. Among their more particular topics of discussion are: language spread, language hegemony, and language conservation; literary canons, literature and identity, and literary anthologies; and the bearing of the new communication technologies on languages and literatures alike. Throughout the book, however, the most frequently explored opposition is between languages or literatures perceived as “major” and others perceived as “minor”, two terms which are sometimes qualitative in connotation, sometimes quantitative, and sometimes both at once, depending on who is using them and with reference to what.

비혼입니다만, 그게 어쨌다구요?!
“결혼은 언제 할 거야?”“결혼을 해야 어른이 되지.”“나이 들면 애도 못 낳을 텐데 얼른 결혼해.”“결혼하고 애를 낳아봐야 인생이 완성되는 거야.” 온갖 결혼 압력에 질린 이들을 위한,입담 센 두 사회학자의 조언! 몇 년 전까지도 ‘비혼’은 낯선 단어였다. ‘기혼’과 ‘미혼’이라는, 결혼을 당연하게 여기는 표현만 두루 쓰였을 뿐. 그런데 한 언론 조사에 따르면, 지난 2011년에서 2016년 사이 SNS상에서 비혼을 언급한 비율이 약 700퍼센트가량 늘어났다. 또 결혼 관련 설문 조사에 ‘결혼해도 좋고, 안 해도 좋다’는 응...
