	Ryerson Library - Asian Heritage in Canada - Authors - Roy Miki
		Miki received a B.A. from the University of Manitoba, a M.A. from Simon Fraser University and a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia.
		Roy Miki's first collection of poems is a brilliant discourse which sounds the originary, unheard of voices of family and community from the perspective of the "sansei" or third-generation Japanese Canadian.
		Roy Miki's brilliant intermixture of the lyrical with the political, the moment with history, the brutal banality of the document with the tender touch of a hand, builds in a tour de force of clarity and beauty.

	There by Roy Miki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Roy Miki’s latest book of poetry, There, examines the here and now, up against the forces of social history that disrupt the language of the then and there.
		Miki, who maybe is that young kid, locates the moment not only in personal history—the then of anecdote—but also structurally, as in how the whole photographic event gets staged, and historically, as in what it means in terms of larger concepts like multiculturalism, as Trudeau scrawls his signature across the whole thing.

		In 1984, after decades of refusing to admit the wrong in uprooting Japanese-Canadian families from their homes, breaking them apart and dispersing them across the country, confiscating their property and interning many individuals illegally, the federal government made an offer.
		As Roy Miki's Redress: Inside the Japanese Canadian Call for Justice tells us, this moment is the crux of a dramatic story about the remaking of the Japanese-Canadian community and the reshaping of our national identity.
		Miki is a Governor General's Awardwinning poet and a professor at SFU.

		Miki himself has been most visible in poetry circles as a prolific editor of his better-known peers: his editions of George Bowering, Roy K. Kiyooka, and bpNichol are both sympathetic and comprehensive.
		Mikis poems are always, on one level, abstract syntheses of his primary critical concerns: the postmodern, wordplay-based poetics practiced by Bowering, Nichol, and Robert Kroetsch, and the historicized cultural politics that he expounds in his collection of essays, Broken Entries: Race Subjectivity Writing.
		Roy Miki is a brilliant, articulate poet, whose intermixture of the lyrical with the political, the moment with history, and whose exploration of the formation of identity makes him among the most original and powerful of...

		Indeed, Miki draws on works ranging from the fiction of Joy Kogawa’s Obasan (1983), to Ken Adachi’s seminal The Enemy That Never Was: A History of the Japanese Canadians (1976) as well as a scrupulous array of primary sources located in the Library Archives of Canada and the Japanese Canadian Museum.
		Miki is also very careful to differentiate and define the many voices that made up the redress movement which came from across the political spectrum and from across several generations.
		In their struggle to not only achieve official recognition, Miki highlights the role that language has played in inscribing and re-inscribing racialized identity, whereby Japanese Canadians were compelled to mobilize the “power of language” and “write themselves” into Canadian history.

		In Meanwhile, Miki brings together an extensive body of Nichol’s critical writings from 1966 to 1988, the year of the poet’s death.
		Miki reveals his editorial hand only in Meanwhile’s final pages through his “Editorial Notes,” which groups writings generically and provides contextual and publication information, and his “Editor’s Afterword,” which includes a brief Nichol biography and a description of Miki’s editorial process.
		While Miki encourages readers of Meanwhile to arrive at their own sense of textual unity, Peters frames Nichol’s comics for his audience.

	Morris And Helen Belkin Art Gallery: Past Exhibitions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Roy Kiyooka (1926-1994) was a “multi-disciplinary” artist who was a painter, sculptor, teacher, poet, musician, film-maker, and photographer (or combination of any of the above).
		The poles in Roy Kiyooka's work may be differently placed and may have shifted during his lifetime, but because of them he has some things in common with recent Japanese artist-photographers, especially those of his generation.
		Abstract: Roy Kiyooka's abrupt turning away from painting toward poetry and photography was marked, to use John O'Brian's works, by "the urgency of testimony and witnessing." Kiyooka's works resonate as narrative pieces of ordinary life but retain a modernist's sense of rupture and construction as well as a sense of revisionist mission.

	Roy Miki
		Poet and artist Roy Kiyooka, whose death in 1994 at 67 left an awesome silence, was often dumbfounded by the machinations of a state lingo that bound his Canuck born and bred body.
		Kiyooka's performances -- his "inging" in the "uncouth vernacular" of displacement -- found few ears outside the proper "english" saturating the white anglo-dominant cultural nomenclature of his life and times.
		Kiyooka's movement through that "whole terrain" exemplifies the necessary deterritorialization of his personal and social contract with the "english" of his upbringing.

	Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Edited by the organizers of a conference on Kiyooka held in Vancouver in 1999, this volume of essays, reflections, poems, and photographs successfully conveys the collaborative spirit, multidisciplinarity, energy, and intimacy that characterized that unique event.
		Conkelton concludes that Kiyooka’s ambition was “to be present and watchful and to express the present and watching individual.” Like Miki’s essay, Scott McFarlane’s final essay on StoneDGloves underscores the resilient and resistant power of Kiyooka’s work in the face of the relentless onslaught of global capitalism.
		McFarlane argues that it is through work like that of Kiyooka – insistent as that work is on the traces of the Japanese workers who erected the site of Expo 70 in Osaka or of the hibukasha whose memories persist there – that the ghosts that haunt the project of globalization live on.
