Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.
July 21 reading at "Drunk Poets Tokyo"
Mr. Edward Levinson, a haiku poet, and a photographer, invited me to participate in an open mic reading of "Drunk Poets Tokyo." It is an event of a private poetry group hosted by Mr. Samm Bennett and Mr. Joy Waller. Mr. Levinson and I belong to the Japan PEN club, where we got to know each other. It was my first time taking part in this event, and it had been a while since my previous performance in Japan. I had a great time with the participants as we were all inspired by each other's expressions. Thank you very much. |
