S7E46 Japanese Female Tanka Poets part 2

NOV 11, 202424 MIN

Description

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.
