This book analyzes avant-garde contemporary Japanese poetry published in the monthly poetry journal Gendai shi techo (Contemporary Poetry Handbook).

Featuring analyses and English translations of original poetry and poetics by leading younger Japanese poets, as well as older, veteran poets whose work appears frequently in the journal, the book explores the impact of social media and Internet on the world of poetry as well as issues and concerns of 21st-century Japanese poets such as eco-criticism, love and relationships.

As the first scholarly monograph to be focused on the complicated and fascinating realm of 21st-century Japanese poetry, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese poetry and literature, as well as poetry in translation.
