Two Voices partners with innovative poetry press Omnidawn to present leading Japanese poet, editor, and critic Kiwao Nomura, known for his electrifying performances. One of Japan’s leading experimental poets, Nomura is the recipient of numerous awards and plays a leading role in the Japanese contemporary poetry scene.

Nomura comes all the way from Japan to read alongside translator Kyoko Yoshida (also coming from Japan!), who has co-translated with Forrest Gander a volume of Nomura’s selected poems, Spectacle and Pigsty, just published by Omnidawn.
