Book excerpt: "Harryette Mullen is a magician of words, phrases, and songs . . . No voice in contemporary poetry is quite as original, cosmopolitan, witty, and tragic." —Susan Stewart, citation for the Academy of American Poets Fellowship Urban tumbleweed, some people call it, discarded plastic bag we see in every city blown down the street with vagrant wind. —from Urban Tumbleweed Urban Tumbleweed is the poet Harryette Mullen's exploration of spaces where the city and the natural world collide. Written out of a daily practice of walking, Mullen's stanzas adapt the traditional Japanese tanka, a poetic form suited for recording fleeting impressions, describing environmental transitions, and contemplating the human being's place in the natural world. But, as she writes in her preface, "What is natural about being human? What to make of a city dweller taking a ‘nature walk' in a public park while listening to a podcast with ear-bud headphones?"

Book Synopsis Evocare: A Collection of Tanka by : Ayo Gutierrez
Download or read book Evocare: A Collection of Tanka written by Ayo Gutierrez and published by GMGA Publishing. This book was released on with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanka, which translates to “short song,” is the lyrical, five-line poem that has historically served as the basic form of Japanese poetry. Despite its shifts in style over the centuries, tanka has remained a poem that captures the nuances of human experience by exploring the simultaneous simplicity and complexity found in nature, relationships, and situations. Evocare offers tankas of love and lust, solitude and togetherness, the familiar and the unfamiliar, hope and heartbreak, strength and weakness, among other themes. The authors leave room for readers to draw their own connections to the poems. Upon reading Evocare, I admired its sense of fluidity within structure, and depth in meaning within such simple, compressed form. Each tanka offers spiritual nourishment through practical teachings that are embedded in the lines. Some of what you will find in these pages are teachings that help us to cultivate a conscious awareness and acceptance of contrast: Nature is balance Between birth and death of all Demand and supply Too much birth brings extinction Too much death makes life grow strong. (Gutierrez) Ayo Gutierrez asserts that a balance is possible between contrasting realities. By using juxtaposition, she explores these notions of contrast and balance in other tankas, as well. In one poem, she tells of the powerful policeman who was once skinny and, presumably, powerless. In another, she highlights the difference between elevating above ground level and being on ground. Gutierrez teaches us to be aware of balance, changes that time can bring, dichotomies, and contrasting forces as we navigate through the complexities of life and living. There is, as well, much in these pages that helps us to bridge the past and the present: “If only bullets Could create peace, not make wars” A schoolchild once hoped This fantasy pays homage To the students as they march. (Tabios) Here, Eileen R. Tabios uses tanka to allude to a 2018 United States gun violence protest. Likewise, she uses tanka to refer to the Marvel universe. Tabios illustrates that modernity and tradition can interweave and hold hands. Her innovative approach to tanka is present in both content and style. In particular, Tabios introduces readers to her experimental tankas, including the “ducktail tanka” and the hay(na)ku. Her inventive tankas corroborate the fluidity of poetry while maintaining structure. These dualities between fluidity and structure, and past and present show that a deep connection between contrasting forces can generate new meaning, development, and understandings. In addition, the book reveals that we can find a wealth of lessons from experiences that have challenged our values or hurt us: Portrait 72: When things break apart Think back how He broke bread in Pieces to feed men; Sometimes, it takes broken heart To feed souls with great lessons. (Aene) Brian Cain Aene reminds us that pain can be transformed into power. Similar to Gutierrez and Tabios, Aene forges a connection between contrasting forces, namely the negative and the positive. Moreover, Aene’s tankas provide a sensory experience for readers, engaging the senses with insightful portraits about complex subjects that cannot be easily defined, such as home, love, and lust. An underlying theme in this collection of tankas is the power of connection. The following tankas, overall, manifest a connectedness between things that are unseen, but authentic—our feelings and evocations—with the observable world in which we live. The tankas in Evocare connected me back to my own beginnings as a poet. I was reminded of the loneliness and despair I felt as a teenager who was bullied and my reliance on poetry as a source of comfort. I used poetry as a means to understand my feelings and to transform all negative energy into strong, connective energy, weaving together words, symbols, feelings, and rhythms that empowered me. Poetry projects power and can touch the soul in myriad ways. I hope that the authors’ humble efforts in this book present you with profound mantras for living, inject you with a renewed passion for life and living, and instill within you a sense of connection to something that evokes feelings of comfort and empowerment. —Arienne L. Calingo

Book Synopsis The Way of Tanka by : Naomi Beth Wakan
Download or read book The Way of Tanka written by Naomi Beth Wakan and published by Shanti Arts Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way of Tanka is an approachable yet comprehensive examination of the Japanese form of poetry known as tanka. The author, Naomi Beth Wakan, discusses its roots in early Japanese courts where it was considered the poetry of lovers, as well as its adaptation to western culture and the characteristics that separate it from the more popular form of Japanese poetry: haiku. Throughout, Wakan weaves her story of personal self-transformation as she moved from the more disciplined writing of haiku to the more metaphorical and philosophical writing of tanka. Numerous examples of tanka are provided, and the rich explanation of the experience of writing tanka encourages readers to write their own tanka while remaining open to the possibilities it provides for personal growth.
