    Hi

    Very fun and addictive (sound) poem! But, I am confused…is this piece by Yoko Shibata or Hana Fubuki?

    You can check out some of my video poems on You tube…just search on ‘sonofTelstar’

    thanks for the video link!

      I’m confused, too! I think she must’ve re-branded herself since I uploaded this, or else I was just really messed up — I don’t see any trace of the name “Yoko Shibata” now.

      Thanks for the heads-up. I will change the info here accordingly — and check out yor won videos, too.
