A Japanese-themed collection, written during a six-week stay in Japan, working on an Arts Council/British Council-funded trip. Katrina Naomi depicts Japanese traditions and customs with great enthusiasm and some puzzlement. Katrina doesn’t pretend she is an expert but prods and questions what she finds, while also questioning herself.

 The title poem ‘Typhoon Etiquette’ was chosen by Oxford Brookes University as its Poem of the Week.
