Misako Hayashi’s second poetry collection uses urban sounds and memories of daily life, suggested by train departure melodies, to draw out solitude and warmth from ordinary scenes.

Like a brief melody at a station, everyday memories begin to sound within these poems.

Kuto Funahashi’s third poetry collection moves between prose poems and lineated poems, breaking down light, time, and bodily sensation to explore the quiet radicalism of being free.

Like a quiet free radical, language leaps toward the next brightness.
