Hello, beautiful poets! Robbie and I want to update you on the status of the 2025 Sunflower Tanka Anthology. It’s been a crazy summer and autumn for me. Between my husband’s surgeries and some minor surgeries for me, we’re still on track to publish the first week in December 2025.
I’ll be sending Robbie the PDF & EPUB to proof for me one last time, this week. We’ll reveal the cover of this anthology this week, as well. We had more submissions this year, than we did last year. WOO HOO!
🚨 So stay tuned for more news. 🚨
This is the perfect time to send our thanks to those who celebrate Thanksgiving. We’re thankful for all of you.
Robbie & Colleen

Wow! Amazing news, Colleen and Robbie! 🌻

So good to hear, I look forward to the read. So mad at myself that I missed the submission, again!!! But life has its own plans, and you just have to go with it.
