Keiji Minato
Keiji Minato was born in the south of Osaka
Prefecture, Japan in 1973 and grew up there
catching crayfish (we don't eat them, though)
and digging up fossils of trilobites (not
many for all the efforts). Now he's been
living in Kyoto for more than a decade, hating
its sweltering summer and cold damp winter
and loving its cozy life and beautiful riverbanks.
He studies literatures in English, mainly,
U.S. and Australian contemporary poetry.
His favorite haiku poets are K i Nagata,
Kan'ichi Abe and Jack Kerouac. He plays the
guitar and the ukulele but never gets better.
He also writes free verse and published a
book of poetry, Garasu no me / Nuno no hifu
[Glass Eyes / Cloth Skin], in 2004. |
