Ryoko Shindo’s third poetry collection. Prompted by the deaths of people close to the poet, it examines the feeling that life and death are joined in one line, transforming personal memory and loss into dense poetic language.

A poetry collection tracing the path of life and death through memories of loss.

Takahiko Okada’s tenth poetry collection. Centered on the poet’s recovery from alcoholism, it forms a long-poem-like book in which lived action and poetic lines seem to prompt one another.

It records the self’s movement toward recovery as a continuous flow of poetry.
