performance_2010_10_23_01.jpg Oct. 23, I was invited to the Moon Viewing Party hosted by Ms. Patricia Machmiller at San Jose, California. I performed reading of 40 pieces of tanka, 20 of them themed "moonlit forest" and 20 others. I am very glad to see the audience enjoyed my performance.
performance_2010_10_23_02.jpg Oct. 24, a tanka workshop was held at Mr. Patric Gallagher's house. Eight of English haiku poets gathered, and created wonderful pieces of tanka. I hope a few pieces of advice, including what I was taught by my tanka teacher, turns out to be helpful for them in their creative work./td>
