Luminous Press will be releasing my chapbook I Have a Bird to Whistle: 7 Palinodes later this month. I’ll post links when available. Many thanks to editors Iskandar Haggarty and Julia Ortiz for publishing this collection.
Does this mean that your book will come in the form of twin poems each time? Any way I admire your opinion greatly and if you have time can you check out this Work

Give your beloved–or yourself!–a truly memorable #Valentine’s Day present: #poetry from Robert Okaji’s newest chapbook, I Have a Bird to Whistle. It’s available now on pre-order in the U.S. from the publisher, Luminous Press (at Gumroad here: https://gumroad.com/l/KNeFt), and directly from Mr. Okaji if you’re international. Get one before its official release day, Feb. 25th, 2019, when it might fly away forever on the wings of swift sales/sails!
Robert, congratulations! I love the title and I am sure the work is stellar.

Thanks, Merril. The title is from an old blues song by Robert Johnson, whose music somehow slipped into a poem…

It does look wonderful. The site says ‘sold out’? Did I misread it. Anyway, all the best, and I will get one somehow.

They’ve not put up the link yet, but should do so soon. It seems they’re unable to ship internationally, so I’ll be handling that myself.

I’m not certain that I understand your question. This chapbook consists of seven poems, each of which contains three parts. Here’s an example: https://robertokaji.com/2017/09/14/palinode-hands-hours-light/
I’ll be certain to look at your work. Thank you.
