Episode Details

This week, I’m going to be continuing with the theme of death poetry, taking a look at some interesting areas:

• Japanese prisoners of war, held in Japan and other countries, writing their jisei before their execution
• Poems written by those about to commit seppuku
• Poems from the ancient masters of our genre

Anyone who doesn’t want to listen to poems on these tough subjects, maybe come back next week.
