Windfall : Poetry of Place

Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Modern English Tanka , is not the only journal of poetry of place out there, although it may be the entry poet to the genre for poets and readers of tanka. We encourage our readers and poets to explore other journals of poetry of place, and in particular, would like to recommend an essay appearing in Windfall that articulates and influences much of what we feel about the importance of place and the nature of poetry. It can be accessed at .
