October 11 at 4:30 p.m., PST (Oct. 12 at 8:30 a.m., Japan Time), I participated in Zoom Reading Event presided at by Ms. Maja Trochimczyk and performed reading of my English Tanka sequence "Borderless Prayer," which was published in "WE ARE HERE: VILLAGE POETS ANTHOLOGY".

It was their 10th Anniversary of their virtual event, and I was very honored to be a part of the event together with the other poets whose poems were published in the same anthology.
