'Something Other Than Other' is Philip Rowland's most representative collection to date. Ranging from minimal, concrete and found poems to epigrammatic reflections, imagist snapshots, haiku and tanka, the book unfolds in four carefully sequenced sections, including 'Surveillance', a long series of short poems based on observations of people and places in Rowland's adoptive home town of Tokyo.
