"Home, No Home" - Poetry Chapbook
The winner of the first annual Oro Fino Chapbook Competition
Published by Educe Press
People happily live.... That is ideal; however, unwanted events happen-earthquakes, tsunamis, cancer, brain surgery, unfilled love, or not making monthly rent. Naoko Fujimoto, a Japanese poet, adapted these scenes into first-person narratives, in which ordinary people face these broken moments.

It is gritty and raw, earthy and spare, crafted superbly. - Diane Raptosh, Judge of the 2015 contest
Naoko Fujimoto has deep silences that activate the reader’s mind, which turns each moment over and over to make sense of the devastation. From the deadly tsunami in Fukushima to more subtle moments of broken lives, Fujimoto takes on a first-person narrative in these literary poems to draw readers into that sadness, that loss, that emptiness, the silence to render grief alive. - Serena Agusto-Cox, writer at Savvy Verse & Wit
