My Dear Readers:
NeverEnding Story contributor, Kala Ramesh, had a free ebook out: the unseen arc, winner of The Snapshot Press Book Awards. Her collection of winning tanka is visually and emotionally arresting, and oftentimes thought-provoking. The following are the tanka selected for your reading pleasure.
Selected Tanka:
the night
all to myself
I imagine
the unseen arc
of the crescent moon
a sudden spurt
of warm feeling ...
my blood
from a womb
I knew nothing about
mother laments
being old and bent
I see her
as a curved branch
laden with fruit
barefooted
I stand before god
my slippers
outside the temple gate
along with my ego
Happy Reading
Chen-ou
