AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This collection comprises tanka inspired by the September 2007 - January 2008 exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia, Black Robe White Mist: Art of the Japanese Buddhist Nun Rengetsu.

Tanka poets associated with the journal Eucalypt were invited to 'send tanka suitable for every day, practical utensils, including tea towels'. Thirty-three poets contributed sixty-nine poems.

Notes

  • Epigraph: ... poems are not words, / after all, but fires for the cold. / ropes let down to the lost, / something as necessary as bread / in the pockets of the hungry.
