 er will host poet Margaret Chula and quilt artist Cathy Erickson for a pre
 sentation of their artistic collaboration\, &ldquo\;What Remains: Japanese
  Americans in Internment Camps\,&rdquo\; in a Spoken Word presentation at 
 7 p.m. Tuesday\, Jan. 18.\n\nIn their seven-year collaborative project\, C
 hula and Erickson combined poetry and quilts to focus on the Japanese Amer
 ican World War II internment experience. There will be readings of the poe
 try and displays of the quilt art.\n\nIn the 1940&rsquo\;s\, over 120\,000
  Japanese Americans were imprisoned in internment camps. From the newborn 
 baby to the aging grandfather\, all their lives were changed dramatically.
  Now only photos\, stories and rock rubble remain of the time. For seven y
 ears\, internationally known poet Chula collaborated with Erickson to try 
 to capture the spirit of what remains more than 60 years later. The quilts
  and poems offer visual and poetic insight into this period in history. Ea
 ch poem speaks in the voice of a Japanese American imprisoned during the w
 ar\, and details their lives through poems inspired by readings\, archival
  photographs and interviews. The quilts echo the emotions and experiences 
 of Japanese Americans through color\, design and texture.\n\nFor informati
