BISAC: Poetry / General

Our current issue has a focus on long form tanka literature, including a unique series of tanka prose movie scripts, as well as more conventional works of tanka, tanka sequence, tanka prose, cherita, and other related forms. Another first for this issue: tanka in Maltese, as well as content in Japanese, English, German, Dutch, Polish, and Asante Twi, representing poets from six continents. ATPO is the premier international journal, for tanka, kyoka, gogyoshi, cherita, articles, book reviews, and announcements. 

We persevere, in spite of ongoing technical challenges in every facet of producing the journal. Please do notify us if you have any technical problems with the journal or website.

Sample Poems

A. A. Marcoff

the morning

of her funeral:

walking in the light

of dawn — the grass

pink with fallen blossom

Carol Raisfeld

blue skies

milking the cows

at dawn

the children on a train

to Auschwitz

Charles Harmon

lightning first

then thunder

flashing fists

then words that cut her

like knives

Matsukaze

a quiet Sabbath with few arrivals — 

in the back office

watching “Peter Gunn” episodes on my phone

Ray Spitzenberger

the fear of knowing

if I fall I can’t get up

such feeling of hope

when those strong arms raise me up

and my life’s doings don’t end

Shernaz Wadia

each time I awaken

to trains passing

in the night

I am happy

one took

you away for good
