Poems by Kitajima

North Island's three most famous poems, a tourist from Poland, daydreams and answers.

The Polish Visitor is an essay of The Blue House. Kitajima said in A Visitor from Poland that we had dreams at that time, about literature, about love and about traveling around the world. Now we drink in the middle of the night, and the cups collide and make a sound of broken dreams.

"Daydream" uses very delicate brushstrokes to integrate all the sadness and sentimentality in his heart into these two poems, which also makes us feel his unique talent and extraordinary talent again.

Answer is an obscure poem written by the poet Kitajima in 1976, which marks the beginning of the era of obscure poetry. The poem shows the extreme coldness of grief and indignation, and expresses doubts about the violent world in a firm tone.
