夜のバザール
Night Bazaar is a poetry collection in which Hiromichi Yamamoto depicts people, customs, and landscapes encountered while traveling through Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and elsewhere. Layering images of lanterns, river sluices, and the remains of hot-air balloons, its 25 poems connect everyday life and the shadows of history seen in transit.
Work Information
A poetry collection that gathers landscapes and people encountered across Asia into 25 travel poems.
Published by Shichosha in May 2022 as a hardcover A5-volume, the collection arranges things encountered by the poet on his travels like a road movie. It turns the heat of different places and the marks left by war and conflict into poetry. It received both the 56th Japan Poets Club Award and the 56th Hokkaido Shimbun Literary Award.

旅の随に やがてピン川の下流の水門には 祈りをこめて流した灯籠が 大量の生ごみで流れ着き 未来を照らした熱気球の光は 黒焦げの燃えかすとなって ぜんぶ地上に落ちていた (「夢の果て」) カンボジア、タイ、ベトナム、ミャンマー、バングラデシュ……。 漂泊の詩人が、さまざまな土地で見聞した人々、慣習、風景をロードムービー風に構成し、詩行に昇華させた25景の羇旅詩篇。
