I took this selfie when I went to Takayama, Japan to purchase washi paper. They were all woven into my graphic poems.
My first graphic poem was, "Japanese Apricot Wine" (Page 23) in GLYPH: GRAPHIC POETRY=TRANS. SENSORY. The project started on December 9th, 2016.
Can you find Matthew Thorburn's poetry book cover and my lovely sister in Hawaii in page 27 of "Glyph: Graphic Poetry = Trans. Sensory"?
Before creating "GLYPH: Graphic Poetry = Trans. Sensory", I had a poetry art book project with Glass Lyre Press. "Cochlea" was born, but I was not sure that this book was ready to be published. Now you can read it on my website.
This screen shot was sent by Fred Sasaki, who is a creative director at Poetry Foundation. "Lake Michigan" got the record for number of "likes". Thanks so much to everyone.
The first time I told my grandmother, who is a professional calligrapher, about my graphic poetry project, she showed me her father's poem. This is handwritten and survived World War II. Popular Sites on Naoko Fujimoto's Poetry & Graphic Poetry |
