Almost all poetry comes from troubled times. But poetry itself changes nothing. Statues will be toppled and new statues erected. Poets and readers alike are not passive observers. There are poems in this collection that may indeed transform awareness and consciousness, some human truth at the center of most of them. Poetry acts as a witness. That's what this book does. Tanka is an ancient Japanese form of poetry, reborn into contemporary times around the world. These 130 international poets use the genre to express their hopes, griefs, fears, anger, frustrations and coping mechanisms in an increasingly hostile and foreign world.
