"The spirit of the poems in 'Gestures' seems to dwell somewhere in the period of 'La Belle ?poque', drawing its energy from the capitals of the Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian Empire ... and just next to that, there is the first half of the 20th century, with its modernist and avant-garde art practices and social reforms. What unites both of these eras in Ostups' poems is their suppressed emotionality and fragmentary nature."--Page 9.

"Once called "the Marinetti of Japan" by David Burliuk, Hirato Renkichi produced a unique brand of Futurism from the late 1910s and early 1920s through poetry, criticism, and guerrilla performance. Contributing to the earliest productions of Japanese avant-garde poetry, his aggressive experimentation with speed, spatialization, and performability would later influence what became a lively community of Dadaist and Surrealist writers in pre-war Japan. Spiral Staircase is the first definitive volume of Renkichi's poems to appear in English. With an introduction by Sho Sugita and an afterword by Eric Selland."--Publisher's website (viewed 01/09/2017).
