  1. 1. Ocean Of Clouds

    Cover of 'Ocean Of Clouds' by Garrett Hongo

    Ocean of Clouds is a collection of long-lined poems that meditate on coastlines, tidepools, skylines, and ancestral memory. Through vivid seaside imagery and quiet everyday moments—waiting for a ferry, listening to records, watching a child in sunlight—Garrett Hongo explores perception, gratitude, and the effort to keep memories alive without revealing narrative details or plot.
