End side One Two 000 008 Kiyooka is asked if he visits the historical Japanese areas within Vancouver 034 The audience is encouraged to Question Kiyooka directly about some selected poems 068 Kiyooka suggests a difference between the arrangement of words on a page, and the “space” between words: “The desire to make the poem articulate on the blank white page is a very strong one, it’s not just reading the words and what they’re meaning, but also the spaces and what they’re meaning…” 124 Kiyooka comments about historical perspectives: For Kiyooka this is an important and somewhat mystical concept 160 Kiyooka denies any strong dependency or concern with dreams or dream imagery – he points instead to a relativity of states of consciousness 226 An audience member interprets one of Kiyooka’s poems: “The reality was the dream, and the waking world was only there to feed the dream” 280 Kiyooka proposes a definition of articulateness: “You should be responsible in talking about anything – and that means candid… nothing is withheld” 310 Kiyooka reads “The Fourth Frem” 325 End 326 Kiyooka reads an unidentified poem 342 End.
