“Japan's most prominent feminist poet” – Poetry Foundation“Whether Ito’s strong voice overwhelms or inspires, there is no denying her power. Any student of Japanese literature must experience her bold, groundbreaking, unrelenting genius.” – Japan Times“Bizarrely alluring, the narrative poem reconstitutes femininity, immigration, sex, and nature, with defamiliarization being the first step in an innovative push forward.” – Publishers Weekly
