Contemporary Poetry Hanatsubaki Award

漂流物

Shuri Kido

A sequence of prose poems that gathers language and memory from nameless fragments washed ashore on the coast of Kamakura. Through the impersonal presence of driftage, it unfolds reflections on the shore, time, life, and the beginning of the world, accompanied by photographs.

  • The collection is valued for its fragment-gathering structure and the density with which shoreline sensations open into thought. Its movement from quiet observation toward the making of a world is a defining feature.
