Posted on July 18, 2022 by robert okaji

Boats

My poem “True Name” is up at boats against the current. I am grateful to editor-in-chief McKenna Themm for taking this piece.

  Thank you, Liz. I had a long relationship with several oak trees…

Congratulations, Bob.
I appreciate that you are able to have a civil conversation (albeit one-sided) with an oak tree. Mine consist of curses with their pollen, which has plagued me since I moved to Missouri. Give me a maple, any day. 😉
