Family, history, and identity are what @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social’s poetry is all about. And he’s obsessed with trying to come to terms (in verse!) with who he is and what it is that he’s inherited. #PoetryIsLife

It’s a great day to work in the breezeway. Normally I would be concerned that it’s warmer than it should be this time of year, but today I am grateful. I was craving sun and warmth desperately.
Cover reveal! Some sunshine among the darkness. I am thrilled to share with you the beautiful cover of my debut full-length poetry collection, forthcoming from The Word Works.
This little cairn standing by my garage door puts a smile on my face. @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social stacked it to look like a Japanese lantern. My tendency to anthropomorphize thinks it needs a name, a Japanese name. It has so much personality. How are you finding joy these days?
Happy birthday to my amazingly sweet and talented husband @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Immense gratitude to @chelsdingman.bsky.social and @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social—poets I admire so much—for their overwhelmingly generous endorsements of Running with the Hare. I can’t wait to share this debut chapbook with you in March 💙 #poet #poetry
I’m usually not into inspirational quotes, but this one seemed apropos for 2025.
Many thanks to the final Judge Jennifer Oakes for selecting my debut full-length manuscript as a winner of the Hillary Tham Capital Collection competition! I’m excited and honored! Thank you also to series editor @bradrichard.bsky.social and The Word Works president and co-editor Nancy White.
