Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.
Aug. 26, Wednesday Zoom Poetry Meeting
 |
August 26, 4:45 p.m., U.S. time (Aug. 27 8:45 a.m., Japan time), I participated in Wednesday Poetry Zoom Meeting presided at by Ms. Kathabela Wilson. |
 |
In this meeting, I met a Haiku poet who recently started creating Tanka for the first time. I performed reading of my latest Tanka sequence, wishing to introduce the beauty of Tanka to her. I was glad that she enjoyed my performance. Her Tanka was so good that it was hard to believe she started Tanka recently. I once again realized that it is not really the years one has spent for writing poems, but the depth of emotion one has been cultivating as well as one's sense that determins the quality of poems. |

I was also impressed by Mr. Rick Wilson's flute and Mr. Robert Stewart's paintings. |
