Hiromi Goto Reads her Poem “The Body Politic”
Hiromi Goto is a writer of poetry and fiction (full bio here) who visited our students here at the UBC Creative Writing Department in January.
She attended student workshops and gave a process-based lecture to our undergraduates that explored elements of poetry such as line break vs. prose poem, structure/form, rhyme, homonyms, metaphor, cadence, creativity/cliché, representational poetry vs non-representational. She also honored us by reading her poem The Body Politic, which she kindly allowed us to record and share with you. Here it is:
