About

A special edition anthology of poetry about aging, a print edition, is to be published in early 2008 by Modern English Tanka Press and is to be entitled “Ash Moon Anthology: Poems on Aging in Modern English Tanka.” The Ash Moon Anthology is about the later years of life: the “golden years” to some and far from it to others. Senior men and women have a perspective on life that cannot be achieved except by enduring the passage of several decades. Younger adults who have become caretakers and caregivers for their elders gain new insights into later life. Just as youth and the fullness of maturity are celebrated for their special characteristics, so should be the later years. We are open to tanka about all aspects of aging, both the up and down sides, the joys and the sorrows. We are open to tanka that embody the humor, insight, and wisdom of our elders and the ways in which we age with grace and even elegance.
