Digital Museum of the History of NY

@dmhjny.bsky.social

For #RandomActsOfPoetryDay, we honor Kimi Gengo Tagawa (1903–1987), an early Nisei poet & NYC social investigator. Living in Greenwich Village, she published verse & translations bridging Japanese & American literary worlds, giving voice to her community.

Peach colored background with ripped paper on the edges. Two pages from Kimi Gengo Tagawa's book, the cover page featuring an illustration of Tagawa by her husband and the title page that says "To One Who Mourns at the Death of the Emperor". The text on the grapic says "07 October 2026, #RandomActsofPoetryDay, Kimi Gengo Tagawa, poet, translator and published writer."

Today is #RandomActsOfPoetryDay. Audre Lorde once said, "Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives." In celebration of that, I'd like to share one of my favorite poems with you today. Do you have a favorite poem to share?

She's mummified me - ALIVE! Drake is going west, lads So Tom is going East But tiny Fred Just lies in bed, The lazy little beast. It blew on man, it blew on beast It blew on nun, it blew on priest It blew the wig off Auntie Fanny- But most of all, it blew on Granny!

James Madison's Montpelier

@jmmontpelier.bsky.social

(1/2) It's #RandomActsOfPoetryDay! #DolleyMadison often quoted #poetry when signing her #autograph. At least 3 times, she copied a poem about #Lafayette that ended:

“Champion of Freedom! Well thy race was won!
All time shall hail thee, Europe’s noblest son!”

A life-size cutout of Lafayette sits at the head of the table in Montpelier’s dining room. Cutouts of the Madisons and other dinner guests can be seen in the background.
