Our 3-volume anthology includes: Haiku & Senryu (Volume I), Tanka (Volume II), and Haibun (Volume III), featuring tanka by Malintha Perera and haiku by George Klacsanzky, Yanty Tjiam, and Martha Magenta. 23 poets. 8 countries. 500 poems. Our anthology explores the beauty & mystery of water in many different forms—from ice to snow, to rivers, rain, mist, and the sea. These poems express moments of life revolving around one central theme: the miracle of water.
