About Tancho
Winner of the 2013 Richard Snyder Memorial Publication Prize Tancho is a book that needed to be written and needs to be read. Its account of terrible beauty is itself beautiful, speaking of "hope and despair, the promise of each to other." Nagasaki, Hiroshima, "ruined human beings," a peace park, a sounding bell, a thousand paper cranes. Does the arc of history bend toward hope? One of the many haunting poems in this book describes the body of a boy in one of Yamahata-san's photographs of Nagasaki after the bomb, and concludes with a haiku: There are butterflies warming in broken sunlight wake up, child, wake up. Perhaps we all humanity are that child. - Alicia Ostriker, final judge of the Richard Snyder Publication Prize
