Shining a poetic light on daily life in two urban centres, Glasgow-Tokyo Line links Scottish and Japanese cultures, landscapes and orthographies in unexpected ways. Its co-authors interweave tradition and modernity, finding new perspectives on the ancient practice of renga through the 100-stanza hyakuin form. Here is mark-making of all kinds, from tracks in snow to email musing and immediacy. The languages of their domestic lives (American and Scottish English, Japanese and traditional Scots) carry the conversation forward with naturalness and verve.
