Poem Live at Figroot Press

Posted on October 3, 2017 by robert okaji

My poem “Happy Circuitry” has been published by Figroot Press.

This piece was originally drafted during the August 2015 Tupelo Press 30-30 Challenge, and is dedicated to Margaret Rhee, whose book Radio Heart; Or, How Robots Fall Out of Love inspired me. Thanks Kris B. for sponsoring and providing the title!
