FORTHCOMING TRANSLATIONS

For the past several years, I have been collaborating with a number of translators and organizations to transcribe, translate and make publicly accessible the Japanese-language writings of Issei (first-generation) Japanese American immigrants. My translations of poems that originally appeared in the Heart Mountain Bungei can be viewed here, and translations from the Tule Lake literary journal are forthcoming.
