Tanka 2020 is Finally Here: Five-Line Poems for the Times We’re Living Through

I was delighted to learn that Jim Kacian of Red Moon Press is making this anthology available on Kindle/Amazon. Overjoyed that more people can read this important work for an affordable price on Kindle.  It took a year working with seven other editors to make this second Red Moon tanka antholology a reality. In the midst of it all, we were hit with the Covid-19 pandemic and a higher frequency of the Black Live Matter movement taking place. Life was moving so fast we had to add a Part II to Tanka 2020.

It’s often hard to write on demand but many of our tanka writers came through for us at the last moment.
