An Evening wtih Hiromi Itō: Japan Now 2020
Friday 21st February 18:00 - 19:30 at Cambridge
Hiromi Itō, born in 1955 in Tokyo, is one of the most important poets in Japan. Since her début in the late 1970s, she has published more than 10 collections of poetry including Wild Grass upon a Riverbank which won the Takami Jun Award. Deemed 'fiercely intelligent and unstoppably prolific' by Japan Times, Hiromi will be joined by translator Jeffrey Angles for an in-conversation with Dr Victoria Young, Kawashima Lecturer in Japanese Literature and Culture at the University of Cambridge.
Programmed by Modern Culture in partnership with the Japan Foundation and Sheffield University. Supported by the Great Britian Sasakawa Foundation, the Japan Society and the National Centre for Writing. Part of the Japan-UK Season of Culture 2019-20.
