I’ve had the good fortune to have three of my tanka published in the latest issue of GUSTS,
NO. 23, Contemporary Tanka, Spring/Summer 2016 (Tanka Canada). This is the first time my work has appeared in this beautiful poetry journal, and I’m most grateful to the editor, Kozue Uzawa.
I’ve decided to post each tanka separately here on my blog.

Beautiful tanka! Shame Gusts and Ribbons are not on line to read, you have to subscribe to these wonderful journals.

Stunning image of death and loss–in the midst of ‘verdant woodlands’ no less.
