An album of poetry composed by people affected by the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear disaster will be released March 11, the fourth anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that triggered the crisis.
Veteran actress Sayuri Yoshinaga, 69, who has made reciting atomic bomb poetry her life's work, reads the poems on a compact disc titled "Daini gakusho Fukushima e no Omoi" ("Second Movement: Thoughts for Fukushima").
The album is aimed at "recognizing the feelings of Fukushima people who even now cannot return to their homes, and standing together with them," Yoshinaga said.
