Description:

MODERN ENGLISH TANKA PRESS is pleased to present readers with The Dreaming Room, the follow-up companion volume to The Five-Hole Flute (published in 2006), for further examples and explorations into the literature of tanka collage and montage sets—a compound literature having broad scope and unlimited potential for dealing with the many layers and complexities of human experience, thought, and emotion. As “Queen” of short form poetry in English, the contemporary tanka is seen again to lend its shape and rhythms meaningfully to diverse viewpoints, philosophies, and the human drama.
