About Drowning in the Floating World:
Drowning in the Floating World centers around the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, as well as the Fukushima powerplant disaster, exploring diverse manifestations and interpretations of water in Japanese culture and mythology. These poems not only bear testimony to the disaster, but also serve as a warning to our future selves—on not only the dangers of nature, but also the power governments and businesses hold over their people and environment.
