The Body We Gather

 
By Joel Friederich

“Leaving my language behind,” begins the first poem of The Body We Gather, as Joel Friederich opens himself up to the experience of living in Japan. I found myself following him eagerly across the ocean, startled awake by Butoh dancers, witches, festivals, and scenes of Tokyo, all refracted through a traveler’s prism, his poems also travel deep into whole continents of human experience... birth, parenthood, death, and loss, drawing them with a rare freshness and clarity. This is a book to return to again and again; the work of a gifted poet.                                                                    ..........................................   ..............................................
