Cool Announcement: A Freebie, the unseen arc by Kala Ramesh

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
