Yumi Fuzuki ふみづき ゆうこう award

Yumi Fuzuki’s first poetry collection. In vivid language, it presents the bodily sensations of adolescence, days moving between school and a private room, and the pain of not fitting neatly into the world. Its voice, at once young and sharp, brought a new urgency to contemporary Japanese poetry.

An adolescent body that cannot fit into the world rises up as language.
