Kiji Kutani on Poetry International Web
The October issue of Poetry International Web (http://international.poetryinternationalweb.org/) is now online. Featured: the Japanese poet Kiji Kutani. Editor Yasuhiro Yotsumoto looks at the disarming and disorienting qualities of Kutani's work, evident in lines like the following:

she turned soundlessly into a translucent morsel
and came sliding towards my feet
at a snail’s pace.
