Cool interview in @electriclit.bsky.social with @bonelesskoi.bsky.social, whose debut poetry collection is just out. Talks about aquariums, how his tattoo practice shows up in his poetry, Vietnam, & even some Lord of the Rings. Kudos to interviewer Sanchari Sur electricliterature.com/obsessions-c...
