Sanford Goldstein’s Four Decades on My Tanka Road is where you start your own journey with the world’s oldest continually-anthologized poetic genre.

Four Decades on My Tanka Road: The Tanka Collections of Sanford Goldstein

Literature & Fiction

Goldstein, Sanford

Literary

Lyrical tanka (a Japanese-derived short poem) explore the days and dreams of women living in a rural New England landscape. Point of view ranges from objective to extremely personal. Condensed yet poetic language and tightly-crafted images fuse to create moments of insight – sometimes contemplative, sometimes searing.
