Contemporary Poetry Hanatsubaki Award
再生する光
Hiroya Takagai's poetry collection crystallizes what lies between life and death, voice and silence, the visible and invisible into a sense of prayer and light. Against memories of loss after the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake, it seeks the place where language can rise again.
Work Information
A collection that does not merely retrace what was lost, but feels light as an unceasing prayer.
Regenerating Light was published by Shichosha and received the Contemporary Poetry Hanatsubaki Award. It treats voice, silence, life, and death not as simple oppositions but as a sustained prayer moving toward light.
Review Summaries
-
The collection is memorable for reconnecting thoughts of the dead with the feeling of life while avoiding verbal excess. Its quiet lines have the power to draw the reader inward.
