Japan Poets Club Newcomer Award
カフカを読みながら
Reading Kafka is Mahoko Maruta's second poetry collection, tracing moments when words born from reading rise directly into poetry. With images of a windowless train and a station, it looks at the space between daily life and literature, resonating with Kafka's persistence in writing alongside work.

Published by Shichosha in July 2024 in a paperback octavo format, this poetry collection received the 35th Japan Poets Club Newcomer Award. It vividly traces how reading turns into poetry from the place where writing and working intersect.
