The following is the history of reading performances
to date.
I deeply appreciated a chance to do reading of
a colleciton of poems at Ms. Amelia Fielden's publication
party held in Canberra in September 2005. I hope to have
more chances in the future to vibrate Japanese rhythm sounds,
consisting of units of 5 and 7 syllables, in front of literary
people overseas, through activities such as these. |
