Visitors and school children wrote poems during workshops held in Bristol Museum
& Art Gallery's Parade of Life Japanese print exhibition as part of the International Bristol
Poetry Festival of 2001. Over 300 individuals produced more than 400 poems inspired by the art on display.
This book was launched both in Bristol, England, and Akita, Northern Honshu,
Japan.

Dear Mr Summers,
I am in charge of cultural affairs ... and your ... contribution to Japan 2001 was most
appreciated. Your book about Haiku "Parade of Life" is very impressive.
Your information about the haiku teaching cards game is ... very much
appealing ... and I hope you could hold a demonstration at the most convenient venue.
If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact me.
