Changes at Modern English Tanka Press

Galleyproofs for ATPO 2 were promised for June, but due to significant changes at our sister publication, Modern English Tanka, we are delayed. You can read more about the changes for MET at: . The major news is that Modern English Tanka will be available as an ebook. This will be much less expensive than the print version, and will make it easier and more affordable for poets and readers around the world to get the journal.

As might be expected, Atlas Poetica will also be going through some changes to keep ourselves in sync with our sister publication, and those will take a little time to finalize. An announcement will be made later, but readers and poets can expect a more accessible journal as a result.

Thank you for your patience as Modern English Tanka Press and its journals grow to serve you better.

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 .
