Sea of Trees:
Poetic Gateways to Aokigahara
Jordan A. Y. Smith, Yotsumoto Yasuhiro, Arai Takako, Osaki Sayaka
with Anishka Sharma and Barney Savage
Bilingual volume of poetry written inside Japan's legendary Aokigahara forest. Summer of 2018: four poets traveled with BBC Radio 4 to write poetry inside the forest sensationally known as the "suicide forest." What happens when we encounter the forest directly, write on and off its paths, and record under the trees?
