Japan International Poetry Society Returns… but not to Kyoto

August 14, 2012 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

After a long silence, JIPS will be holding a new meeting this November. I’m rather sad to say they seem to be moving their base of activities away from Kyoto to Osaka, however they do have an impressive list of speakers, so it might be worth making the trek down into the heaving hurdy-gurdy of the metropolis… Here are the details from Jane Nakagawa:

Meeting: Saturday November 17, 2012:  1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.

Location: Osaka University, Toyonaka Campus
