Masao Iwase いわせ まさお poets prize

The second poetry collection by Toyohashi poet Masao Iwase. It expresses postwar local life, the ethical awareness of an author engaged in social education, and a sense of life under harsh summer light through taut poetic language.

Life and labor under the blazing sun are sounded as instruments of poetry.
