Machi Tawara''s first book of poems, Salad Annivsersary, combines the classical ''tanka'' form with the subject of a modern love affair. It became a sensation, selling over 2 million copies - and the ''salad phenomenon'' in Japanese culture was comparable to the ''bananamania'' that followed publication of the first novel by Tawara''s contemporary Banana Yoshimoto. Contains 15 poems:

''August Morning''
''Baseball Game''
''Morning Necktie''
''I Am the Wind''
''Summertime Ship''
''Wake-up Call''
''Hashimoto High School''
''Pretending to Wait for Someone''
''Salad Anniversary''
''Twilight Alley''
''My Bisymmetrical Self''
''So, Good Luck''
''Jazz Concert''
''Backstreet Cat''
''Always American''
