Stacking Stones: An Anthology of Short Tanka Sequences

by M. Kei

Tanka have been compiled into sequences ever since they were first invented more than a thousand years ago. It is only natural to continue this tradition today. In the pages of this anthology you will find the first comprehensive treatment of short tanka sequences composed in English. Over 100 contributors, working as solo poets or collaborating in teams, have produced short sequences (2-13 tanka) and tanka prose covering a wide range of human experience and emotion. Some of the finest tanka poets working in English have joined together to create an anthology that is a 'sequence of sequences, ' serving as an exemplar of the synergy of using tanka as building blocks in larger, more complex works
