Contemporary Poetry Hanatsubaki Award
2000光年のコノテ-ション (書き下し現代詩叢書 2)
A poetry collection by Masato Inagawa. Awareness of poetic form, cinematic imagery, and resistance to and return toward lyricism gather under a title that suggests immense time and distance.
Work Information
The metaphor of two thousand light-years vividly illuminates the gap between language and world.
2000 Konen no Connotation was published in 1991 in Shichosha's newly written modern poetry series. The collection carries the tension of language trying to reach the world while also holding the very failure of that reach.
Review Summaries
-
The collection is notable for dense phrasing and the unfolding of images with narrative force. Its appeal lies in reconstructing lyricism as wounded language rather than accepting it unchanged.
