3 Poems in The Winnow Magazine

Posted on July 29, 2020 by robert okaji

My poems “Self-Portrait as Ash,” “The Pleasure of the Right Tools,” and “The Shakuhachi Knows” are featured in the summer issue of The Winnow Magazine. I am grateful to Rachael Crosbie, Tristan Cody and friends for taking these poems.

Congratulations on the publications. They are all brilliantly penned and I love the imagery with earth and with life-death themes. Amazing writing.

  I must admit that I did not consciously know what I was writing about when I wrote that piece, and others, during that same period. Now it all seems very clear. Funny how that is. And thank you. I was very pleased with the acceptance. It’s a nice venue.
