Description

Kusano's poems often feature animals, such as frogs, which he transforms into lyrical and humorous soliloquies. His writing is characterized by its wit, lyricism, and vigor, with poems that praise the beauty of everyday things like food, nature, and the night sky. This collection showcases Kusano's mastery of language and his ability to find meaning in the world around him.
