Description: Araki Yasusada is a kind of literary hoax, also associated with Tosa Motokiyu, who may himself be a fictional figure. It is also unclear whether there is any Japanese that was translated or whether this is original poetry. Cf. Denver quarterly, v. 31, no. 4, pp. 106-126. The person responsible for the interview with Kent Johnson, Groany McGee, "is not real."
Notes: Verse, prose and criticism.

All the editors are fictitious; Kent Johnson is the medium for most of "Araki Yasusada's" work; Mikhail Epstein and Jack Spicer are two other people associated with the persona of Yasusada.
