alan botsford

Alan Botsford is author of three poetry collections--mamaist: learning a new language (Minato no Hito) which, as the Kyoto Journal wrote, “may be one of the first books of poems to transpire from our global civilization”; A Book of Shadows (Katydid Press) with William I. Elliott; and mamaist: a different sort of light (dark woods press). He has also published the hybrid essay-dialogue-poetry collection Walt Whitman of Cosmic Folklore (Sage Hill Press), about which American poet and critic William Heyen wrote, “If we'll read this book as it was written, with Emerson's 'flower of the mind,' it will enlarge our lives.” Born in Connecticut and educated at Wesleyan University and Columbia University, and formerly editor of Poetry Kanto, he currently is a professor of American literature at Kanto Gakuin University in Yokohama, Japan, is a book reviewer for Kyoto Journal, and lives with his wife, illustrator Minako Saitoh, in the historic seaside town Kamakura.
