This book delves deeply and carefully into his poetic work, from his first collection of poems, "Two Billion Light Years of Solitude," to "Beige," a collection of poems published at the age of 88. What is the appeal of Tanikawa Shuntaro, who, inspired by Mozart and Klee at his core, also engages with contemporary art?
