Publishing date: 23.08.2024
Thank you to Netgalley and Horizon Literary House for the ARC. My opinions are my own.
I expected: A beautifully illustrated collection
I got: Exactly what I expected
The book left me: Wanting to read more tanka
Poetry style:
Contemporary tanka, visual poetry
Amount of poems:
95 poems, one page each
Features:
Full color "illustrated" pages, poems invoking an emotion or a memory (at least for me)
Final ranking and star rating?
4 stars, A tier. These kinds of collections are always banges. I love full page coloration or illustrations already. A whole book with every page colored is a great treat for me. Every poem invoked a specific feeling, a memory, or longing for a special place. This was the perfect way to turn off my brain a little bit and just live in my own head for a while.
Highly recommend it.
