a volcano, a peony: tanka of Jim Chessing
$20.00
“Exploring a world of anger, wonder, love and despair, Chessing brings us 81 tanka that tell the story of his life. His psychological, deeply-felt tanka deal with the pains of childhood, relationships, hikes in oak woods, city streets, and daydreams. As the poet says, ‘tanka is the light that shines in the darkness of what
it means to be us’.”
— A A Marcoff
