Author Description

An anthology of individual tanka, tanka prose and haibun. The thirteen poets are all members of the Canberra-based Limestone Tanka Poets, convened by Kathy Kituai. The tanka feature one of five elements from the Taoist cosmology: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water and these elements form the organising concept for the book. The poems are complemented by original artwork by Deb Faeyrglenn, who responded to the words with her brushwork.
