語族
A poetry collection that summons the shadows and ghostly traces left at the bottom of the postwar era as a swarm of lost words. It probes historical forgetting and the depths of the present through dense metaphor and a hard-edged voice.

Work Information
It recalls voiceless presences drifting in the depths of the postwar era through poetry that feels like an apocrypha.
A poetry collection published by Shichosha and recorded as the Ono Tozaburo Award winner. Through titles such as crows, dead spirits, heroic spirits, and ghost islands, it builds a world that can be read as an apocrypha of postwar poetry.
Review Summaries
-
The collection stands out by refusing to close the postwar era as mere past, treating it instead as a shadow that remains in the present. Heavy diction and phantasmal sequences give the whole book a persistent unease.
