A Handsome Addition to the Tanka Genre

25 Oct 2006

by M. Kei

I just received my copy of Modern English Tanka, Fall, 2006, the inaugural issue of a fine new journal of tanka in English. Edited by Denis M. Garrison, who previously edited Haiku Harvest for six years, it's a major addition to the world of tanka in English. Containing approximately 500 tanka, several of which are taiga (tanka and art), plus essays and articles, it presents established and emerging tanka poets. A solid, satisfying, and welcome addition to the field of tanka poetry.
