Minoru Yoshioka よしおか みのる award

Minoru Yoshioka's poetry collection tightly combines religious imagery, bodily sensation, and uncanny fantasy. Though issued in a limited edition, it is read as an important collection showing the avant-garde development of postwar poetry.

The image of monks opens a dark poetic space of body and fantasy.
