Heiichi Sugiyama すぎやま へいいち award

A late poetry collection by Heiichi Sugiyama. Drawing on a long poetic career, it observes everyday quietness, aging, memory, and persisting hope in restrained language, giving a sense of gentle light in the later part of life.

It looks for the undimmed light of hope within aging and memory.
