“I am charmed by the light touch of Kozue Uzawa’s I’m a Traveler. I have always enjoyed her contributions to the ‘Tanka Café’ and am happy to see some of those good friends included here. I have long admired her autumn poem about a ‘cold wind blowing / all day, and my face / becomes a winter face’ with its Lao Tzu-like transformation of one season into another, of outward and inward weather, effortlessly harmonized and soul-deep.”
—Michael McClintock, President, Tanka Society of America (2004–2010)
