Bio Sketch
A
A Marcoff is an Anglo-Russian poet, born in Iran, who has lived in
Africa, Iran, France and Japan. He is a much-published mainstream poet
as well as a writer of tanka. He lives near the beautiful River Mole in
Surrey, England.
L1 depicts a gloomy scene while the tone and mood of this minimalist tanka is effectively enhanced by the use of inversion: the weighty lines, the "distance of darkness," (now Ls 4&5) conclude the tanka.
