[Drawing on Rita Felski’s “postcritical reading” (not uncritical reading) and the notion of affect articulated by Gregory J. Seigworth and Melissa Gregg, this chapter aims to articulate how Watanabe’s poetry matters to us, which contrasts largely to conventional readings that propose “digging down” in order to uncover hidden meanings behind poetic works (Felski Limits 56). The examination intends to demonstrate how his poetic creations stimulate our sensory and perceptual pathways to invite us to become co-partners who interact with his dexterous words in order to illuminate unprecedented ways of reading, thinking, and existing. This exploration sheds light on the affective interminglements and networks of Watanabe’s poetry, readers’ engagement, and beyond.]
