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.

A autobiographical journal in Prose and Tanka format by one of Australia's most well known tranlators of Japanese literature.

A collection of ekphrastic poetry in response to bridges.

Presents collaborative writings between poets from Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. Whatever page you turn to within Conversations in Tanka you will find a companionable thread between friends that will delight you, move you, inspire you or simply leave you wanting more. Each of the friends within this book has written tanka that stand alone as excellent, but together the sum is far greater than the individual parts.
