I'm in the editing stage of my latest book. In The Ghost Hours is a collection of my gothic poetry focusing on death, loss, and hauntings.

IPPU 一風 Died on the twenty-fourth day of the fifth month, 1731 at the age of sixty-seven. Falling in the wind. a gust. of evergreen leaves. The setting in Ippu's death poem is in the fall, but it is not taken from nature, as evergreen trees do not shed their leaves. The paradox seems to arise from man's wonder in the face of death. As long as he is alive he sees himself as an "ever-green," and the falling of leaves has no part in his world. However, when the "death wind" blows. ... There may be a connection between the poet's pen name (lit., one wind) and the wind in the poem.
