Call for submissions
All poets are now invited to submit unpublished, or previously published tanka for an exciting new anthology to showcase the very best of Australian and New Zealand tanka. This will be modelled after the famous traditional Japanese anthology 'One Hundred Poems By One Hundred Poets'.
The collection will be edited in Australia by Beverley George, editor of ‘Eucalypt: A Tanka Journal’, and co-editor of ‘Grevillea & Wonga Vine: Australian Tanka of Place’, and Amelia Fielden, editor of 'Food For Thought', and 'The Melody Lingers On' themed anthologies, and in New Zealand by Patricia Prime, editor of ‘Kokako’ journal.
Please submit up to 6 of what you consider your best tanka...what the Japanese call 'representative' tanka ... in the customary 5 line form.
Single tanka only, no strings or sequences.
The tanka submitted may be published or unpublished ones. If you have received awards, please include that/those tanka in your submission.
When sending previously published and/or awarded tanka, please include full accreditation details.
