Gogyohka Translated into Japanese

How cool is this?! Mr. Enta Kusakabe, the pioneer of Gogyohka, translated my poem I posted on the Gogyohka Junction forum today. I've never seen one of my wee pieces translated into Japanese, so it's exciting. I'm very honored! Apparently he will also publish it in a Japanese magazine that he has. I'm really moved by this. Thank you Enta!

and so
all out of words
I leave
the sea
to itself

Hi Nicole (again) this piece was a favourite at Gogyohka Junction. I am so pleased that Enta has translated it and intends to publish it in Japan. It's a real 'keeper'. I look forward to following your poetic journey as we move ahead. I have added a link to your site at Paper Moon.
