Orchard

“Ken Tokuno’s Orchard is fertile with rich soil, well established with deep roots and heavy with lush fruit. This exceptional work is highly recommended.” —Midwest Poetry Review

 

“...heartfelt, plain talk.... Hard topics faced directly and with dignity. Language rich as the earth along the Sacramento River, graceful as a growing vine. These personal lyrics have a sense of center and balance, a flowing elegance that recalls sumi-e.... Altogether a marvelous collection and an accomplished first book.” —Elizabeth Siddall
