Synopsis

Words Flower is a collection of delightful tanka, in Japanese and English, by two poets experienced and skilled in the form. Saeko Ogi, whose primary language is Japanese but who is at home in English, and Amelia Fielden, whose primary language is English with wide experience in Japanese, write their tanka, in both languages, in response to those of the other. By linking ideas, suggestions and atmosphere, they give their tanka an interpersonal dimension and a cross-national flavour. The poems are sensitive, delicate and varied. This collection will be a source of enjoyment to the tanka aficionados in both countries, as well as those coming new to the form. - Michael Thorley, Australian poet, author of the Sleeping Alone collection (2008)

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Amelia Fielden composes mainly in traditional Japanese forms such as tanka but is interested in all genres of poetry. She finds that the reading and workshopping of her peers writings at The Moorings meetings provide very effective stimuli for her own creativity.

Saeko Ogi is a tanka poet and tanka translator. A member of the Araragi-ha Tanka Society in Japan since 2003. Born in Tokyo, has lived in Canberra since 1972. She contributes tanka both written in Japanese and English to tanka periodicals and to anthologies in Japan, Australia and USA, is actively involved in tanka activities; translating, presenting talks in symposiums and facilitating a tanka group in Canberra CJC (Canberra Japan Club) Bluebells Tanka Group that she initiated. In 1998 her friendship with Amelia Fielden led to Saeko translating her two poetry and tanka collections, Eucalypts and Iris Streams; and Fountains Play, into Japanese. Since then they have kept working on bilingual poetic works. Her tanka, translated from Japanese into English by Amelia Fielden appeared in Take Five: Best Contemporary Tanka, Volumes 3 and 4.
