The five line tanka is slowly becoming an important literary movement in English and is attracting poets and readers from around the world. Eminently open and accessible, each well-wrought tanka presents a porthole through which the reader is invited to peek. What is seen is nothing less than a unique universe, co-created by the writer and reader with the mutual tools of imagination. The autumn issue of Ribbons offers some of the finest examples of this powerfully expressive poetry, as well as book reviews, articles, and news regarding the latest events and contests in the English tanka world. If you’ve never heard of tanka, this is a perfect place to discover it; if you already love to read and savor it, you’ll find a rich vein here; and if you are one of the many poets who have taken up this fine art, you’ll be inspired by the poems in this issue.
