Ashley M. Jones and JoAnn Balingit in Conversation: This week, Ashley M. Jones and JoAnn Balingit talk about where poetry lives in the face of loss and grief, and how that intimate place can be shared. Balingit’s intimate approach to poetry has had to consider a wider audience during her tenure as poet laureate of Delaware. For example, when Balingit received a request from the Philippine embassy to write a poem, she said yes—but not without pause. The poem was to mark the 75th anniversary of Philippine-American relations. As Balingit put it, “This was a fraught request about a troubled relationship.” Her response was to write a Tanaga—a Filipino poetic form—alongside three other poets who also wrote Tanagas for the embassy marking the occasion. All four poems are in the July/August 2021 issue of Poetry. Today you’ll hear “Tanaga: Song Where Every Filipinx Person Is Standing by the Ocean.” by The Poetry Magazine Podcast

Eating Wild in Japan: Our guest is Winifred Bird who is a writer, translator, lifelong cook, and lover of plants, based in northern Illinois. Winnie recently published a fabulous book called “Eating Wild Japan - Tracking the Culture of Foraged Foods, with a Guide to Plants and Recipes” from Stone Bridge Press. When we talk about Japanese cuisine, we tend to think of dishes like sushi, ramen and kaiseki without considering enough about native ingredients that play a significant role in Japanese food culture. One of the most important ingredients is sansai or edible wild plants. Since two-thirds of Japan’s total land area is forested, you can find amazing seasonal edible plants throughout Japan. Winnie is one of the very few people who discovered the charm of sansai and wrote a book about it in English, based on her experience of living in Japan for 9 years. In this episode, we will discuss Winnie’s eventful life in Japan, what sansai is, why sansai is so important in Ja by Japan Eats!
