The Poetry of Chuya Nakahara: Japan's Modernist Master
Translated by Christian Nagle
"A landmark book that will redefine Nakahara's place on the international stage." —Paul Perry, novelist and poet
This definitive bilingual edition of Chuya Nakahara (1907–1937) brings the most dynamic voice in Japanese early Modernist poetry to English-language readers. Goat Songs and Songs of Bygone Days—the two volumes that Chuya prepared for publication during his brief lifetime—are presented in luminous translations by poet Christian Nagle that capture the music, formal integrity and soul of the original poems.
With an extensive biographical and critical introduction, foreword by leading Chuya scholar Mikiro Sasaki, rare archival photographs and informative notes, this volume offers an indispensable gateway to one of Japan's most brilliant writers.
With free online audio recordings of the poems in Japanese and English.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
