Tanka: Poems in Exile


Leído por czandra

(3.8 stars; 4 reviews)

Jun Fujita's tanka are timeless, still, sad. Written in English, one wonders whether the recurring deserts are in Japan, in America, or in the poet's state of mind: that of a scarecrow flapping in wind. The form is as loose and haunting as modern English-language tanka. - Summary by czandra (0 hr 14 min)

just beautiful


(5 stars)

Exceptionally interpreted by Narrator - who also has a soothing voice. This somehow makes the melancholia more bearable, so one can delight in the genius of each cleverly chosen word. I hear and see it all. Incredibile!

Accurate as far as I know.

Was a decent text, I did enjoy it. Though it requires several more readings for me to intake and comprehend the full meaning and to really appreciate. Thank you to the orator.

An entrancing delivery

Achingly sublime poetry and a haunting performance of a reading. Outstanding. Thank you for this.
