Haiku Poets Association Newcomer Award
尺蠖の道
Katsuhiro Horikiri's first haiku collection. It keeps the sensibility of a younger haiku poet while lightly drawing in love, the body, the city, travel, and seasonal textures.
Work Information
Like an inchworm moving by drawing itself together, the language advances carefully but surely.
Published by Bungaku no Mori, this first collection was compiled during Horikiri's work with the haiku group Ginkan and won the Haijin Kyokai Newcomer Award. It draws on classical season words and literary diction while bringing in contemporary life, urban scenes, and bodily perception.
Review Summaries
-
Readers note the wide range of haiku subjects, from love and festivals to bookshops and travel. The collection's appeal lies not only in poise but also in wit and a subtly sensual feeling.
