May 28, Thursday Zoom Poetry Meeting

On May 28, starting at 1:30 p.m., U.S. time (May 29, 5:30 a.m., Japan time), I participated in Thursday Poetry Zoom Meeting presided at by Ms. Kathabela Wilson, and performed Tanka reading both in English and Japanese.

Because it starts early in the morning in Japan, I was not sure if I could continue attending the meeting when I started in the beginning of this month. However, I am now able to naturally cope with the time difference between the two countries.

Activities with Zoom gives me a place to present my reading performance across the border. It is actually an unexpected and wonderful surprise for me.

I would like to make efforts to improve the level of completion of my work both in Japanese and in English.
