Yuko Saeki さえき ゆうこ award

Unfinished Letters is a tanka collection by Yuko Saeki, centered on thoughts that cannot be fully written and the spaces left around words. Borrowing the intimate form of letters, it quietly brings forward voices that did not arrive and the echoes of memory.

In the margins of words left unfinished, memory and feeling quietly remain.
