This special engagement event will feature readings from Murasaki Shikibu’s The Tale of Genji and Sei Shonagon’s The Pillow Book to provide a deeper understanding of the real Murasaki and Sei, and the brilliance and legacy of their writing. These excerpts will be paired with readings by contemporary AAPI poets writing in Los Angeles today to honor the legacy of poetry from the Heian Period all the way to 2023 Los Angeles.
