Description
Hikikomori, a Japanese term meaning "pulling inward," is used to describe mostly young adults who withdraw from society and remain secluded in their bedrooms for long periods, sometimes decades. The syndrome causes the sufferer and their family great pain as well as emotional and spiritual deprivation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global lockdowns, it is possible that a sharp increase in hikikomori cases will appear around the world. This collection of poems was written during this desperate global situation. Each poem is accompanied by a short explanation to assist readers. Simple, uncommon drawings enhance the experience of reading and returning to this collection.
