Poetry. "Shimoda's world is a hushed world?his book, a silent prayer, not to a god, but to life, the life of survivors?that one can whisper, can join the dead?that whisper turns into a ritualistic text, a celebration of witnessing, of the minute manifestations of reality.... Insinuating itself in the memory of Hiroshima and the bomb?a disaster surpassing disasters-his work is the saying of the dead who return, is a Requiem."?Etel Adnan
