早矢仕典子 はやし のりこ poetry prize

A poetry collection by Noriko Hayashi that gathers poems written over the years after 2007. It moves quietly between illness, loss, family memory, and the tactile presence of landscape.

Within the long swell of time, private memory and landscape gently overlap.

かわいふくみ かわい ふくみ encouragement award

A poetry collection by Fukumi Kawai. Using the feel of spoken language and repeated sounds, it gently opens up the textures of everyday life and bodily sensation.

By peeling back the skin of words layer by layer, it rediscovers the contours of wind and voice.
