	Kamato Hongo's ordinary life - theage.com.au
		Kamato Hongo is 115 years old, and exercises her undeniable right to have an unusual, if predictable, sleeping pattern.
		And there is Mrs Hongo, propped up in bed with a tape recorder on her knees, moving elegantly in her daily ritual of teodori, a slow posture dance.
		Kamato Hongo was born on the island of Amami-Oshima, part of a group of islands to the south of Japan's main islands.

	LA Times Obituary for Kamato Hongo on November 1, 2003
		Hongo was famous in her region for her unusual habit of sleeping 48 hours at a time and then staying awake for two days, a pattern that she began after she had hip surgery at the age of 110.
		Hongo's longevity is in keeping with Japan's reputation as the country with the longest average life-expectancy rate women are expected to live to be 85.2 and men to be 78.3, according to the latest Japanese government survey.
		Hongo was born on the small island of Tokunoshimi, off Kyushu, which was also the birthplace of Shigechiyo Izumi, who was 120 when he died in 1986 and was believed to be the oldest living person at the time.

	On Garrett Hongo's Poetry
		Hongo's poetry and prose are expansive, for they touch upon the personal, social, historical, and philosophical.
		Hongo's use of parallel phrasing can be described at times as Whitmanesque; in his poetic narrative, he carefully layers words and images.
		Hongo pays mindful consideration to the amplitude of what makes us human and connected to one another, to the past, and to nature.

	Excerpts from Interviews with Garrett Hongo
		HONGO: Yes, and I wanted the words I was reading to belong to me, but there were no words for me, no words for my grandfather, no words for my grandmother.
		I remember as a student in Los Angeles, we'd study World War II and there would be no mention of the evacuation, no mention of Executive Order 9066 that sent 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast in the United States to the relocation centers all over the barren places of the West and Arkansas.
		HONGO: I think poetry is about our most familiar need which we deny in order to lead more practical lives, but ultimately these lives are impractical because they do not have such presences in them.
