Hello, beautiful readers! I am thrilled to share with you today this beautiful collection of poetry! Sunflower Tanka: An Anthology of Tanka, Tanka Prose, and Experimental Tanka is an incredible collection of various tanka poems. It truly is a delightful read. Here is the book blurb:

Sunflower Tanka, edited by Robbie Cheadle & Colleen M. Chesebro, is an annual anthology of contemporary tanka, tanka prose, & experimental tanka from a broad mix of new and established poetic voices from across the world.

Our theme, "Into the Light," draws inspiration from the way a young sunflower bud constantly turns to face the sun. Poets delved into the realms of death, love, and the natural world, capturing their human experiences in the timeless form of syllabic poetry.

Contributors to the first edition of the Sunflower Tanka: Suzanne Brace, Yvette M Calleiro, Kay Castenada, Luanne Castle, Robbie Cheadle, Colleen M. Chesebro, E.A. Colquitt, Melissa Davilio, Destiny, Tamiko Dooley, Lisa Fox, Cindy Georgakas, Chris Hall, Franci Hoffman, Marsha Ingrao, Jude Itakali, JulesPaige, Kenneth, MJ Mallon, Brenda Marie, Selma Martin, Michelle Ayon Navajas, Lisa Nelson, D.

Three of my experimental tanka poems are included, and I am honored to have been a part of such a great collection of poetry. This is the second poetry anthology in which my poems have been published. If you enjoy reading poems, I highly recommend this collection. 

Plus, the cover is just beautiful! With the holidays right around the corner, this would make the perfect gift for a loved one. 😉
