“Aspiring ascetic. Feral philosopher. Purported poet. Soliloquys and sonnets from the South Seas.
Ko Dōrōrō ahau. I’m Dōrōrō.
The haigō Dōrōrō was chosen as a pen name (俳号) in reverence to the asceticism and resilience of birdlife from my kaika, my homeland, while also a nod to the great haiku, hokku, and kōan masters of times past, whom have had a tremendous influence on my words.
Mahalo and thank you so much for reading!
—Dōrōrō
