Experience a unique moment in history through poetry. Poems composed by numerous Japanese Americans poets during WWII were kept in a journal by Masaki Kinoshita and discovered by his grandson Duane Watari. These poems and their translations were compiled into the book They Never Asked - Senryū Poetry from the WWII Portland Assembly Center. Come hear personal stories and insights from the editors Shelley Baker-Gard, Michael Freiling, Satsuki Takikawa, and from Duane Watari himself!
