Hoshino Tatsuko Award
"Yoru no Mori" is Komagikone Junko's second haiku collection, gathering 478 poems written through 2016. It turns intimate and painful experiences, including her father's death, the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and caring for her mother, into a source of living energy rather than enclosing them in grief.
A haiku collection that crystallizes post-disaster daily life and familial attentiveness into quiet, resilient poems.
