Robbie and I are so thrilled with the reviews rolling in on Amazon for the Sunflower Tanka Anthology. We are both committed to offering ways for poets to get their poetry published.
Many thanks to all of you who have taken the time to leave a review. We appreciate your support. 💛🌻💛
Here’s another review:
I am honoured to have three off my tanka poems included.
This review relates to all of the other lovely poems
They are all favourites but here are some of my choices to highlight:
Lisa Fox with her tanka prose about creating sourdough from scratch and eating the finished product with peanut butter really made me smile.
Chris Hall, her tanka poems about the seasons, spring, early summer, late summer, autumn and winter are sublime.
Luanne Castle’s Lesson (Tanka prose,) about her care of her baby grandson. And a hummingbird, sharing, ‘our duties of protection.’
Brenda Marie with her wonderful soul inspired Tanka.
Melissa Davilio’s lovely tanka about a rainbow uplifting her downcast mood.
Reena Saxena’s amusing double tanka about the brevity of haiku extended by ‘two more lines of wisdom.’
I enjoyed Lisa Smith Nelson’s tanka, (Sweater Weather,) tanka puente, and tanka prose, Driving Blind.)
Colleen Chesebro’s tankas celebrating moonlight, an owl and nocturnal insects.
Moving tanka prose from Marsha Ingrao about her cancer treatment which ends on a hopeful note. And from D. Wallace Peach (My Mother’s Death,) a touchingly written personal tanka prose. Merril D. Smith’s April 2020 tanka prose during covid about loss, sadness, light and love remembered. And from Robbie Cheadle a truly relatable poem about growing older through the generations, (Family Gathering.)
Selma Martin’s visual tanka begins by taking you on an eagle’s wing. How poetry can really move you!
Sunflower Tanka’s international flavour made it even more interesting for me with poets from the US, UK, Japan, Philippines, Uganda, Mexico, South Africa, Scotland/Portugal, Australia, Italy and India.
Keen poetry enthusiasts will be delighted to be gifted this anthology. What a pleasure to dip into the pages whenever you fill the need to bask into the light!
Robbie Cheadle is a gifted artist, the gorgeous cover and interior formatted by Colleen Chesebro depicts Robbie’s favourite flower, the Sunflower.
Highly recommended.
