Description:

The premiere edition of Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Modern English Tanka includes over 500 poems from 42 poets representing more than 20 countries and 12 languages. New from Modern English Tanka Press, the Atlas brings a new level of innovation, artistry, and appreciation to poetry of place in the tanka form and its variants. With the launching of the Atlas Poetica, we invite all readers to see the places of the world through the eyes of poets, and to find in poetry the maps that will lead them to explore the multitude of meanings manifest in their own special places. —M.
