EASTLAND disaster, the Chicago race riots, and the St. Valentine’s Day massacre. Fujita was also an accomplished English-language tanka poet, and POETRY magazine regularly published his work. Come for a discussion of Fujita’s life and legacy; panelists include Nobuko Chikamatsu-Chandler, Takako Day, Graham Lee, and Nadine Nakanishi, with curators Katherine Litwin and Fred Sasaki. Guests will take home a catalog and keepsake print designed by Nadine Nakanishi.
