Bio Sketch
Anne Curran is a Japanese verse
poet who lives in Hamilton, New Zealand. She remains grateful to all
those family members, editors, and poets who have encouraged her in this
work
The political and the personal mingling in the opening statement establish the thematic context while the visually and emotionally evocative image of seemingly never-ending rain in the lower verse darkens the gloomy mood of the tanka.
