After randomly reading some pieces in this esoteric collection of poems and photography by Yoshinori Henguchi one might question why they picked up the book to begin with, or even their own existence.

Lizard Telepathy

Fox Telepathy, by Yoshinori Henguchi

Translated by D.

CHIN MUSIC PRESS, Poetry.

The introduction, "Nihongo," does little to placate those doubts. Using graphic language, Henguchi addresses crimes committed against the Japanese language and his hopes to redress them.

While one may find themselves rifling through the book in search of clarity, Henguchi's raw and emotional language is captivating. Using gritty, almost-charming metaphors, he creates poignant images out of the mundane.
