Talk

Yasuki Fukushima JPN writer in conversation with Jeffrey Angles USA Japanologist, poet and translator

Yasuki Fukushima (born 1943 in Tokyo) is one of Japan’s most expressive poets. He brings the tanka up to date, the 1300 year-old poetic form with just 32 syllables, and has published more than 25 books of poetry based on this form. Fukushima’s social engagement and experimental performance forms derive from the avant-garde of the 60s and 70s. He performs his ‘zekkyōtanka’ (shouted tanka) to music, loud and penetrating, allows art genres to permeate each other and breaks down the boundaries between what is mine and not-mine.
Japanese-German interpreting will be available for this event.
Project leaders: Alexander Gumz | Matthias Kniep

The event Weltklang - Night of Poetry takes place on the 16th of June at 7 pm.
