excerpts; entirety and futility


"...make it clear that, in the midst of crowded responsibilities, none of us is spared loneliness and separation."

"Or, looked at the other way, these two poets engage with ordinary life and tell stories of a sort, but far more interesting and profound stories, as their starting point is not the self�s desire to immortalise its history but rather the extinguishing of the self before life�s humour and mystery."

- Peter Boyle, review of Yasuhiro Yotsumoto's "Family Room" and Shuntaro Tarikawa's "Watashi"

It seems, in the matter of a few sentences, Boyle has managed to encapsulate what this entire diary of mine is striving to articulate.
