    Forrest GanderARTICLEJung Journal2024

    Not, you say, to fall backendlessly into the routine of ourselves.Nor to compose ourselves alwaysfrom the same syllables.We lie listening to the ilmenite dark,to the thrum of rain. Sleep comeswhil

    Forrest GanderARTICLEJung Journal2024

  • Wandering Birds

    Shuri Kido, Tomoyuki Endo et al.ARTICLEWorld Literature Today2021

    20 WLT AUTUMN 2021 a POETRY Wandering Birds by Shuri Kido A thousand countries in myself – There’s something that precipitates to the very bottom of such a feeling. Is everything just an image, or is this only a wasteland where images overflow, and become a language? There is a sound you can hear only when your body grows older and more tranquil.

And, parsed in India ink, your meditations, your panoramic originality, your unaffectedness line by line, horizon by horizon (since the days were passing), the whole Atlantic sloshed between your lachrymal C…
