About the author

Takuboku Ishikawa (石川 啄木 February 20, 1886 – April 13, 1912) was a Japanese poet. He died of tuberculosis. Well-known as both a tanka and "modern-style" (新体詩 shintaishi?) or "free-style" (自由詩 jiyūshi?) poet, he began as a member of the Myōjō group of naturalist poets but later joined the "socialistic" group of Japanese poets and renounced naturalism.

Waking,
Unable to move, my body in pain—
I'm almost in tears waiting for dawn
