Kokuhaku Review is inspired by pieces I’ve seen, heard, and felt strongly that they need to be planted into print and shared. I want to build a little cozy house for these pieces, and pieces of these writers, to live in. There is something about being able to say, yes, my work is in this place. It’s safe, accepted, and cherished there.
Kokuhaku submissions will initially be solicited. I will source these pieces myself before opening submissions to the public.
