途中の話

和田まさ子

A poetry collection that follows the feelings and scenes encountered while walking through the city, pausing, and living among others. Through bridges, corridors, and memories of language, it quietly gathers small joys and the fluctuations of being alive.

Work Information

Walking through the city, stumbling, and living among the world.

A poetry collection by Masako Wada. It turns bridges shining over a river, melancholy corridors, and sensations that unexpectedly arise in daily life into light yet incisive language. Attentive to the details of the everyday, the book considers the breadth of the places in which people live, and received the 26th Ono Tozaburo Award.
