Haiku Poets Association Newcomer Award
壺天: 句集
Koten is a haiku collection by Tetsuhiko Hiyama, also known as a scholar of German literature. It brings together an intellectual sensitivity to language and the pleasure of sealing a scene into a brief poem, selected from about fifteen years of writing.
Work Information
An intelligent, open collection that seems to seal the spirit of scenery in a small vessel.
Published by Kadokawa Shoten, the collection reflects Hiyama’s account of discovering haiku and the joy of capturing scenes and moods in seventeen syllables. It joins the linguistic sense of a scholar with the freedom of a poet.
Review Summaries
-
The poet’s professional sensitivity to language connects with a light, precise way of framing moments. The poems convey the pleasure of writing while leaving a lingering atmosphere behind each scene.
