Ito Michiaki いとう みちあき award

Michiaki Ito's first haiku collection. It foregrounds a sensibility rooted in Fukuoka, fresh lyricism conveyed through fruit and bodily perception, and a trust in fixed-form haiku.

In the fine fuzz of a white peach resting in the palm, youthful lyricism and devotion to form seem to pulse.
