Kokako, Number 42, April 2025

Grateful to the editor, Graham Bates, for selecting "a fluttering of sparrows" monoprint for the cover:


The following work was also included in this issue:


whooper swans
the turning maples
nearly as loud


devil winds
someone's world
on fire


cultivating
this garden acreage
my hands
rejoice in working
the soil you once tilled


nightingales
once lived in this hazel
I still miss
the soothing cadence
of my father's voice



(note: the haiga above was a collaborative effort - Graham Bates provided the image and  I provided the poem)
