Description
Shinkawa co-founded women’s poetry magazine, La Mer, and has provided a beacon for female poets in Japan. In her own poetry she observes the physical world, ‘I happened to see a man selling oceans who, like a carpet merchant, was spreading them out and rolling them up, spreading them out and rolling them up’
