Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.
Feb. 1, I performed my 160th tanka reading overseas in Altadena
 |
Feb. 1st, I had an opportunity to present my bilingual tanka reading performance to those who love poetry and haiku. This gathering was arranged by Ms. Melanie Calvert. She and I got to know each other last year through our common friends, and she became one of my wonderful friends ever since. |

This session in the beautiful city, Altadena, turned out to be my 160th reading performance in 38 cities outside of Japan. |
 |
I would like to express my gratitude to the comments made by the audience - they told me they were deeply moved by my performance. I am so happy that they felt the charm of tanka. I would like to keep it mind, and continue make efforts for my performance. Ms. Melanie Calvert, thank you very much for the wonderful opportunity. |
