Nikkei Uncovered: Poetry Event via Zoom
Join Mitsu, traci kato-kiriyama and friends for an evening of poetry. Mitsuye Yamada will read a few selections from Camp Notes and Full Circle.
Nikkei Uncovered: a poetry column
Acclaimed artist, poet, and performer traci kato-kiriyama shares poems each month from the Nikkei community in her monthly column on the DiscoverNikkei.org* website. Traci featured Mitsuye in her February 2019 Column: Circles, Cycles, Commemoration | Discover Nikkei .
Nikkei Uncovered is going Live
Now, Nikkei Uncovered is going live! We have brought together a powerful, intergenerational lineup of poets previously featured in the column to share their poetry in an online reading. Hosted by traci, the interactive reading and reflection will also include a short open mic portion, where viewers will be able to sign up during the program to share their poetry.
Featuring Maiya Kuida-Osumi, Courtney Ozaki, Micah Tasaka, and Mitsuye Yamada.
This program is FREE, but RSVPs are required using the link below. You will be emailed 24 hours before the program with instructions on how to join this Zoom webinar.
* Nikkei are Japanese emigrants and their descendants. Discover Nikkei is a community website about Nikkei identity, history and experiences. The goal of this project is to provide an inviting space for the community to share, explore, and connect with each other through diverse Nikkei experiences, culture, and history.
A project of the Japanese American National Museum.
