ATLAS POETICA 7 : A JOURNAL OF POETRY OF PLACE

PRESS RELEASE: ATLAS POETICA 7 : A JOURNAL OF POETRY OF PLACE IN CONTEMPORARY
TANKA PUBLISHED - SPECIAL FOCUS ON TANKA IN TRANSLATION
 
25 November - Perryville, Maryland, USA
 
Keibooks is pleased to announce the publication of Atlas Poetica : A Journal
of Contemporary Tanka, issue 7 (Winter, 2010). Atlas Poetica, edited by M.
Kei, is published in print and digital formats, both available through an
online point of sale <http://Lulu.com/Keibooks> or through <
http://AtlasPoetica.org>. ATPO has expanded to contain 84 pages of poetic
content in a large, 8.5 x 11 inch format to accommodate individual tanka,
tanka prose, tanka sequences, book reviews, articles, and international
resources. Print ISSN is 1939-6465 and the digital ISSN is 1945-8908.
 
Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Contemporary Tanka is
dedicated to promoting tanka from around the world. ATPO 7 furthers that
goal by presenting an entire issue to tanka in translation. Tanka in Innu,
English, German, Dutch, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Romanian, Lithuanian,
Chinese, Japanese, Twi, Fante, Ewe, and Luganda, along with articles,
reviews, and a list of international resources are included. Some of the
voices in ATPO 7 are well-known but gain resonance when speaking languages
other than English. Other voices are unknown and represent fresh and
different approaches to tanka. Together they illustrate the extraordinary
suppleness of tanka. Nothing is exempt from the poet's eye. Technology,
baobab trees, and kisses intermingle.
