Keibooks Announces Atlas Poetica 38 : A Journal of World Tanka
Press Release – For Immediate Release – Please post to all appropriate venues
12 September 2019 – Perryville, Maryland, USA
Atlas Poetica : A Journal of World Tanka, volume 38, edited by M. Kei, continues our tradition of excellence and diversity in tanka literature. More than fifty poets representing nearly twenty countries from India to Nigeria to Ireland to Ukraine to Mexico to Taiwan and more contribute. Tanka, tanka prose, tanka sequences, kyoka, cherita, and related literature, are deeply rooted in the place and culture of our hearts. Whether emerging poets first appearing in print, or experienced voices that speak to us across the artificial borders made by humans, the poets of Atlas Poetica are thoughtful, passionate, humorous, and honest. They find poetry in the most ordinary — and extraordinary — of experiences. Wherever we travel, we find that people of the cities and countryside share a common humanity. To know and take joy in our differences, while mourning the tribulations of our world, unites poets and readers in an unshakeable bond. As long as there is poetry in the world, there is hope.
In This Issue:
dawn chorus
as if nothing had happened
echoes
of distant surf
against the cliff face
Lorne Henry
I stand here,
still,
a great silence
upon me —
the silence of the sun
A A Marcoff
we are all
walking the Earth
with feet of clay
and hearts of tin,
yet sometimes we sparkle
M. Kei
