[stylist] Curious

[Lynda Lambert]

Yes, Bridgit, it is by and  for Tanka enthusiasts. Founded in 2000 - home 
office is Pasadena, CA. It's a well  organized, productive group of writers 
for a specific genre (Tanka, related essays and book reviews). They publish 
a beautiful journal - Ribbons_ three times a year. I became interested in 
pursuing Tanka when I decided to write a poem a day in April for National 
Poetry Month.  Of course, doing a poem a day was unrealistic as I am quite a 
slow, meditative type of writer/person. But it is  the poignant  Japanese 
sensibilities, use of space and voice  in Tanka that interested me - and I 
focused solely on this form at that time.  My curiosity about the form led 
me to hidden treasures and discoveries for this exquisite poem form.  I am 
hooked!  Lynda

Oh cool. Is it really a group for people writing this specific kind of 
poetry? That's really neat idea.

Are there any member in NFB Writers Division who are members of the Tanka 
Society of America?
If, so, I’d like to connect with you! Lynda
