Reading in Japanese/English/Vietnamese in Pasadena, CA.

Ms. Teresa M., an excellent poet I got acquainted last year in the U.S., translated my sequence "about Vietnam" in Vietnamese.

As a token of gratitude for it, I translated her strong poems based upon her own experience. And today, we were able to have a trilingual reading session of Japanese, English, and Vietnamese.

I really appreciate Ms. Kathabela Wilson, who organized this wonderful event, and offered her house to host it.
2015_04_17_02.jpg I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude toward everyone at the event who accepted the reading with all my strength and all my heart.
