Windfall Apples

Tanka and Kyoka

by Richard Stevenson

tagged: canadian
Description

The venerable tanka and her upstart cousin kyoka mingle with Kerouac’s American pop haiku in five-liner imagist poems and linked sequences. In Windfall Apples, Richard Stevenson mixes east and west with backyard barbecue and rueful reflection.
