Come share stories of Japanese Americans young and old with high school English teacher and spoken-word poetry artist Kurt Ikeda as different generations learn about each other through a poetry-writing workshop.

Ikeda, who describes himself as “your friendly neighborhood poetry teacher,” said he is humbled to serve on the JACL Pacific Southwest District board as secretary and National Education Committee representative. This GLA chapter board member, nominated to be co-president, is excited to find new ways of telling the Shin-Nikkei Japanese American narrative through creative writing and poetry.?
