In episode S7E45 we left the podcast with a bit of scandal, a menage à trois or even quattre. If you haven’t a clue what I’m on about you’d better go back an episode and have a listen. There’s some great poetry on there. You don’t want to miss out.
Today I’m going to open with some poetry from Yamakawa Tomiko, explore some female tanka poets who were not included in Ueda’s Modern Tanka Anthology and then have a listen to some work from more of the female poets he did include.
Lots of poetry to inspire you to write.
This time on Poetry Pea you will hear the senryu written in response to Bona M Santos' presentation on madku.
Bona, along with Lynne Jambor, Matthew Defibaugh, Alvin B Cruz and Katherine E Winnick, chose their favourite poems to nominate for the judges' choice and tell us why. Check the show notes for more info.
If you've enjoyed what you've heard, please give us a review and maybe think of sponsoring the podcast with a membership or buying us a coffee.
Thanks for joining us.
Thanks to Poetry Pea's host Alex and to the poets from India who came along to tell us about Triveni Haikai India and read some of their poetry for us. Thanks to Triveni Haikai India who collaborated with Poetry Pea on this episode.
You will find our more about the poets and a link to Triveni Haikai India in the show notes. Of course the poets will also feature in the Poetry Pea Journal 5:24.
Enjoy!
