Miyoshi Nagashima ながしま みよし award

Miyoshi Nagashima's "Black Fruit" is a poetry collection that condenses postwar memory and wartime experience. It expresses bodily pain, thoughts of the dead, and an urgent wish for peace through heavy images like dark fruit.

This second H Prize-winning collection looks at the wounds of war from deep within body and memory.
