Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Media coverage.
"Jiyu-Jizai" published by Juken Kenkyu Sha.
A popular study guide for senior children at elementary school introduced my tanka in the section of poetry appreciation.
I am very honored to be selected as one of the 23 poets whose works I studied in the textbooks when I was a student.
My tanka introduced:
I hear a voice
telling me I should
shed my husk,
let myself
be born anew
