American Tanka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American Tanka is a U.S. literary journal devoted to the publication of English language tanka (短歌) poetry. Founded in 1996, it is edited and published by Laura Maffei and headquartered in Staten Island, New York. Although there had been earlier poetry journals that published tanka along with other short poetry forms, American Tanka was the first regularly-published journal in the United States to focus on English language tanka poetry. The style of journal is published with a "one poem per page" layout that has become the hallmark of the journal. It currently publishes semi-annually.
