Knowing nothing, but learning something about contemporary Japanese poetry and the challenges of translation from this podcast :

There is a bit of performance poetry that is too dramatized for my tastes, but otherwise an informative programme.

The octopus, MacPhil
I listened to most of this during one of today's exercise sessions. I say 'most' because parts of it, including the performance bits, were very loud and I had to turn down the volume so as not to disturb the neighbs. Then it was very quiet and I couldn't really hear anything, lols. But I think I got the gist

Well, I've some strange neighbs here, MacPhil. The chap in no. 8 has some form of OCD and always has to close his front door three times, very loudly. Then yesterday I thought I'd try recording my pigeon song, only for someone upstairs to start shouting. Anyway, I remember that bit about no rhyme and no pent, and also the info about vowel sounds, very interesting! I really enjoy listening to poetry programmes while I'm exercising
