"Yohaku no Yoru" is a poetry collection by Seiichiro Iwaki and a winner of the 56th Rekitei Prize. Through poems of night, memory, travel, and light, it questions the certainty of what one touches and lets a quiet unease resonate like a circular narrative.

Twenty-two poems quietly wet memory, gathering unease and light from the margins of night.

Takuya Fukuda received the 56th Rekitei Prize for two books, "Wajinden Danpen" and "Wakusei no House Dust." "Wajinden Danpen" follows ancient place names and fragments of memory, expanding language toward a mythic space beyond individual life and death. The companion prizewinning volume, "Wakusei no House Dust," drives the physical force of language through fluid prose-poem structures.

Antiquity, place, body, and cosmic dust intersect in these prizewinning poetry books, where language itself keeps moving.
