Bio Sketch
Brian Zimmer wrote from the banks of the Mississippi River
in St. Louis, Missouri. His work had appeared in various
international print and online journals. He took inspiration from a variety of
sources, including the ancient Japanese poetic-diary (utanikki) and free-form,
poetic "essay" (zuihitsu).
Brian's tanka effectively builds, line by line, to a poignant ending, and L3 enhances the visually and emotionally suggestive powerful of the tanka while L5 leaves dreaming room for the reader's engagement.
