Binetsu Kaiiki is Mayumi Ozaki's first tanka collection and includes the newcomer-award sequence of the same title. Water, light, bodily sensation, and responses to classical poetry are joined through rhythms that carry a deliberate instability.

A first collection that crystallizes waterside light and bodily heat into taut, supple rhythms.

Roteiki is Kazumi Nogi's first tanka collection, arranging work across a long span after the poet's Tanka Research Newcomer Award. Estrangement from the world, travel, memory, and an inward gaze accumulate with quiet tension.

An introspective first collection that leaves the feeling of having accompanied a long journey.
