Rocco Scotellaro ろっこ・すこてっらーろ Winner

Set against the rural world of postwar Basilicata, this poetry collection sings of labor, community, and hope. Beneath its concise language runs a deep sense of solidarity with the land and its people.

It lets the voices of rural life sound with both urgency and lyricism.
