John Brandi & Renée Gregorio – The Shorter Poems

April 14, 2011 By Michael Lambe 2 Comments

Renée Gregorio & John Brandi

Last weekend I attended a Kyoto Journal sponsored poetry reading with John Brandi and Renée Gregorio. It was a super cosy affair in the wonderful Kyoto Nama Chocolate organic teahouse, with lots of good conversation and poetic inspiration! Many thanks also to the hosts for the fantastic cakes and chocolate! Stewart Wachs promises to have a full video of the event (including Preston Houser‘s soul cleansing shakuhachi performance) up online at a later date. Until then however, here’s a short taster from the end of the event – the shorter poems. My apologies for the sound quality. I’ve no idea what happened there…

My apologies also for not getting this up sooner – I left my camera at the venue! Many thanks to Stewart for getting it back to me!

    Thanks for this taste of what I missed, Michael. Unfortunately, I had to go to my good friend, Zen Nakamura’s wake that evening. Ken brought J and R to Saga the following afternoon, so I took them all to Rakushisha and the Hozugawa viewpoint, where we all wrote poems. A bit more volume would have been nice!

    Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Stephen. Yes, a bit more volume would have been nice. I really don’t know why the sound quality is so bad or what that hissing noise is. I hope I don’t have to buy a new camera… Anyway, hopefully Stewart will have his full video recording of the event up online soon. See you soon.
