My debut novel Prospect was a Top 3 finalist in their international contest. The poems from this book have been reprinted in a multitude of textbooks and anthologies, including the Norton Introduction to Literature. Sadly, the book is going out of print.

This book contains one of the most reprinted poems about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. It's called "In Response to Executive Order 9066." The poem has appeared in CELEBRATE AMERICA IN POETRY AND ART (Smithsonian) and many textbooks and anthologies. The poem looks at this moment in American history through the eyes of a teenage girl. Another popular poem is "Notes for a Poem on Being Asian American," which has appeared in the NORTON INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE and NORTON INTRODUCTION TO POETRY. Okita's poetry is widely reprinted every year in textbooks and anthologies. .
The book also looks at the poet's life as a gay man in poems like "When Frank Walks In" and "Where the Boys Were." This last poem was inspired by the AIDS crisis. There is often humor in the poems, sometimes a sense of wonder. Other titles included: "Mysteries of a Bowling Alley," "Letters I Never Wrote," and "Poem for the Unnamed." The Amazon page used to let visitors to Look Inside but it hasn't worked in a while. See below for more info in the "From the Author" section.

(If you enjoy Okita's poetry, you may want to take a peek at his award-winning, debut novel THE PROSPECT OF MY ARRIVAL. It was a finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards and is available on Amazon in both kindle and trade paperback. His forthcoming novels include THE HOPE STORE, and EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE.)
