This is a virtual event that requires an internet connection and Zoom*
Miho Kinnas is a Japanese poet. Her poems, translations, and book reviews have appeared in various journals and anthologies. A 2018 Pushcart nominee, Miho is the author of two collections of poetry, "Today, Fish Only” (2014) and "Move Over, Bird" (2019) published from Math Paper Press. She leads haiku/linked-poem workshops locally and (inter) nationally at locations including Pat Conroy Literary Festival, Harvard Art Museum, Shanghai Literary Festival, Writers.com, and local schools. In addition, she operates a community bookshop, An Island Bookshelf, on Hilton Head Island, SC, where she lives, swims and birds.
Her poems reflect her interest in Japanese language and forms, as shown in these lines from the poem From Excavation:
No careless words were spoken in my house.
My father once said to me, "You must try to understand your mother.
Her boredom is rolled up into a sticky rice cake."
Following the reading, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
