DESCRIPTION:Shizue Harada came to the United States in the 1920s with her h
 usband of arranged marriage. She did not become&nbsp\;<em>Sanae</em>\, a w
 riter of a Japanese poetry form called&nbsp\;<em>senryu</em>\, until she h
 ad lived a full life\, working factory jobs and raising two children.&nbsp
 \;\n\nSanae's daughter\, Aiko Uyeki\, has compiled her mother's poignant p
 oetry in a collection that captures Sanae's strong Buddhist faith\, her wr
 y humor and simple wisdom\, her musings about growing old and her approach
 ing death. Complementing these poems is the artwork of Amy Uyeki\, Sanae's
  granddaughter. With word and image\, a picture is painted of the life of 
 Shizue Harada\, a Meiji-era wife whose story mirrors many first generation
  Japanese Americans who left familiar shores to seek the American dream.&n
 bsp\;\n\nThe Uyekis will present a reading of Sanae\,&nbsp\;<em>Senryu Poe
 t: Her Life in 5-7-5</em>\, highlighted with accompanying visual images ca
 lled&nbsp\;<em>haiga</em>&nbsp\;created by her granddaughter Amy.&nbsp\;\n
 \nThe reading will be followed by a workshop that explores the medium of s
 enryu\, encouraging participants to write their own poems and suggesting t
 echniques to get started. Examples of haiga or poem painting will be share
 d and there will be opportunities to create both senryu and haiga. Interge
 nerational participation is encouraged.\n\nReservations recommended to rsv
 p@janm.org or 213.625.0414 at least 48 hours prior.\n\n<a href="http://www
