May sky : there is always tomorrow : an anthology of Japanese American concentration camp kaiko haiku
Violet Kazue De Cristoforo (Compiler, Translator)
The dark time in American history of the arrest and internment of Japanese American citizens in World War II is here presented in terms of the important cultural activity of the haiku clubs and their members. Violet Kazue de Cristoforo was a young girl when she joined the Valley Ginsha Haiku Kai of Fresno before World War II. Two of the California free verse poetry clubs, the Valley Ginsha and the Delta Ginsha of Stockton, owed their existence to the haiku masters Neiji Ozawa and Kyotaro Komuro
