Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo.

On Monday, August 26th, I participated in a Zoom Meeting and proposed two themes to the participants that day, "Float" and "Reflections," and recited my own tanka as examples.

On Tuesday, August 27th, I participated in the Zoom Poetry Meeting hosted by Mr. Michael Czarnecki, the Shakuhachi Meeting with Mr. Rick Wilson, and the Cobalt Zoom Reading hosted by Mr. Rick Lupert, and recited a series of tanka sequence in memory of Ms. Deborah P Kolodji in Japanese and English.

I participated in four Zoom Meetings over three days and was very happy that people who do not usually have the opportunity to hear tanka readings in Japanese and English enjoyed them.
