this collection: 2 poems

Two of my poems have been chosen for inclusion in 'this collection', a really cool project that will pair 100 poems (of 100 words or less) about Edinburgh with 100 films (of 100 beats or less) about the poems. The poems are all in, and now independent filmmakers from Edinburgh will choose which poems appeal to them and make shortfilms for them.

My poems Going Home:
http://thiscollection.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/going-home-by-aiko-harman-no-16-of-this-collections-top-100/

and Between Lauriston Gardens and Lauriston Park:
http://thiscollection.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/between-lauriston-gardens-and-lauriston-park-by-aiko-harman-no-17-of-this-collections-top-100/

are posted on the 'this collection' website. Go check them out! A really great idea, and still time for filmmakers to get involved!

Skin Deep: Onsen

This just in!

My poem Onsen is featured in the first publication by Read This Magazine's new imprint, Read This Press.

It's an excellent anthology on tattoos & tattooing, with a nice mix of up-and-coming & established poets as well.

You can buy it now on etsy, if you hurry! There are only 5 copies left:
