Facing the Courtyard is a poetry collection by Ikuko Komatsu. Through the image of an inward-opening courtyard, it shapes private space, silence, and the movement of the gaze in poetic language.

A gaze toward the courtyard evokes inner quiet and tension.

Stammering Humming is Kota Ehara’s poetry collection. It turns the bodily feeling of language that does not move smoothly and a song that never fully becomes voice into poetic subject matter, giving the work a strong individuality.

A halted voice and a hummed tune rise as poetic rhythm.
