Season 2 Episode 43: Elizabeth Gauffreau on Tanka Poetry
Wilderness Tanka
snowy wilderness
cold winter sun, soaring trees
a small lone figure
for a time she stood fearless
my protector, my mother
Elizabeth Gauffreau, Tanka Poetry
Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in.
I am delighted and thrilled that my dear friend, writer and poet, Elizabeth Gauffreau, has come back to share her insights into an ancient style of poetry. We are once again bridging the 3897 kilometers, as the crow flies, between New Hampshire and Vancouver.
Several months ago, Liz introduced me to Tanka poetry. In a few words, emotions, memories, and intentions come together. This is going to be an exciting conversation. So put the kettle on and add to the discussion on Tea Toast & Trivia.
