Komachi Project – Hiromi Ito and Jeffrey Angles at Manchester Poetry Library

Hiromi Itō is considered Japan’s most prominent feminist poet. She is often credited with revolutionising postwar Japanese poetry with her work focusing on sexuality, childbirth, and women’s bodies. She later moved to the United States and has since focused on migration and the psychological effects of linguistic and cultural alienation. She is the multi-award-winning author of over ten collections of poetry, numerous essay collections and translations and several novellas and novels. Asia Triennial Manchester and Manchester Poetry Library are delighted to welcome Hiromi Itō for a reading and Q&A with her translator, the poet Jeffrey Angles, associate professor of Japanese literature and translation studies at Western Michigan University. Hiromi Itō is the author of Killing Kanoko (2009) and Wild Grass on the Riverbank (2015), both translated by Jeffrey Angles.
