Nikkei Uncovered III: a poetry reading
Our third annual virtual poetry reading presented a powerful lineup of poets previously featured in Discover Nikkei’s “Nikkei Uncovered: a poetry column,” hosted by traci kato-kiriyama (author of “Navigating With(out) Instruments”) on September 15, 2022. The poets—Sawako Nakayasu, Emily Mitamura, and Amy Uyematsu—were chosen to reflect on the theme of gathering. What does it mean to gather in a time of physical and social separation? How can poetry bring us together?

ABOUT DISCOVER NIKKEI
Beyond just a website, Discover Nikkei (https://DiscoverNikkei.org) is an international network that celebrates cultural diversity and explores both global and local identities. The project connects generations and communities by sharing stories and perspectives of the Nikkei, people of Japanese descent who have migrated and settled throughout the world.
The site is available in 4 languages—English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. New stories are published daily in the site's Journal section. You can also watch clips from life history videos, find out about and share your own Nikkei events around the world, and more.
Discover Nikkei is a project of the Japanese American National Museum, with major funding by The Nippon Foundation, as well as the support of JANM’s members and donors.
