An Interview with Ken Fukushima

I highly value loyalty. I find this a hard question to answer. I can’t think of what I value more than loyalty. I have a problem dealing with a lack of loyalty, but I highly respect different points of view — different loyalties. That’s fundamental to bushido.

Books Nobody Reads

the river organizes itself around/the ring fingers of the city planners// walking is an exercise in becoming/the rivulets criss-cross down the stairs// no strident social voices can equal/the equanimity of the touristic gaze// all fallow hands on deck are heard/melodies through the megaphones// of the fluted stories no longer echoed/in the camouflage of ochre embankments

A Conversation with Julie Tamiko Manning

When I was a pre-teen, I remember a story circulating around the family, about some sort of cabin that they lived in, and how it was so cold that icicles grew on the inside of the walls. At some point I realized that this story was connected to a much larger family history and I realized I must do whatever research I could by myself.
