A little over a month ago, my family and I went to a poetry reading at the Hillstead Museum. It featured two poets--one who wrote about a space traveler, the other about his depressed dog--and a hippy band which seemed to care more about their looks than the music. The takeaway from the evening (aside from a general feeling of caution about outdoor poetry festivals) was an autographed copy of the first poet's book (thanks dad!) with this note written inside:
Maddie-
May your travels, too, be various and deeply saturated with color! (Write poems about them.)
-Ben
I hope to use this blog to convey any colorful experiences (and perhaps some sepia ones as well) I have while in Japan, be they poetic or plain.
Here I am again,
a new adventure begins.
Hajimemashou!
