North Island
Hainan Publishing House, 2022
"Someone Must Rewrite Love" is a collection of works by the famous poet Kitajima, 46 classic poems and prose works, presenting the whole picture of the poet, essayist, painter and photographer Kitajima. The choreography of "one poem and one article" is like the continuation of the Chinese poetry tradition. From "Memories of Storms" to "Exile of Words" to "Book of the Earth", three series of poems fully show the poet's life journey from childhood to the present, reflecting the turbulent scenery of the second half of the twentieth century.
"I was hired by a great memory." Kitajima's poetry is a collective memory and spiritual mirror image of a generation. Self and era, other places and hometowns, history and reality, in all kinds of paradoxes and ruptures, between departure and arrival, Kitajima put words into history. North Island's prose is simple and interesting, from Alan Ginsburg's New York to Kafka's Prague, from Arafat's Ramallah to Lorga's Spain, he met poets and scholars of different identities during his wandering world journey, and what he saw and heard was vivid and shocking; he also recalled his youth, his close friends and relatives, and his intense nostalgia and sharp pain often came unexpectedly. The poet's pen writes prose, restoring the richness, sensitivity and freshness of the Chinese language. There are also a number of paintings and photographs of Kitajima, another language he has found outside of the text.

- "I'm always lost." My personal destiny and contemporary history have a dialogue-like relationship. I've been through all these years, and I've met poets, friends, and some little people. I think I must have an account for such a period of history. "In Kitajima's long poem "Wrong Way", we can see the sonorous sound of the poet as in the past, and the complex imagery and bullet shuttle-like dense row ratio are more majestic. The long poem "The Wrong Way" consists of thirty-four chapters, and the writing lasts eleven years, and the questioning continues.
