While my 3-week stay in the U.S., I attended 4 events to perform bilingual tanka reading.
Also, I did some reading at English-tanka workshops almost everyday!
I am more than happy to be able to help U.S. poets to deepen their interest in tanka.

Ms. Lois P. Jones of KPFK radio gave me a wonderful comment to me when I performed tanka reading at Moon Day Reading event held in Flintridge Bookstore. I am so grateful. Thank you, Lois.
"If you have not heard Mariko Kitakubo read, you are missing an intensity that will travel through every cell of your body.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work."

It was my second time visit, after the one in this spring, to perform reading at Gaden Court, Santa Barbara.

Audience were all healthy, strong and bright regardless of their age.

We did not select the tanka pieces which have shrewd theme, for the consideration of the audience, we were very happy to see they enjoyed our performance.
