“May the nourishment of the earth be yours, May the clarity of light be yours, May the fluency of the ocean be yours, May the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow Wind work these words Of love around you, An invisible cloak To mind your life.” -John O’Donohue #EastCoastKin

I’m deepening my understanding of reading, writing, and experiencing Japanese short form poetry through Sean Wright’s deep attention and skillfulness. I am honored to have a senryu featured in his Fallen Petals series. Check out this series and his own poetry!
