something with feathers

"The title poem of this chapbook is a stunning twist on Emily Dickinson's 'thing with feathers.' If you hunger for tanka that are bold, original and richly-layered, you've come to the right place. The poems are presented one to a page, giving you time to plumb the depths of each one. Each section is introduced by one of Kati's illustrations, which, as you will see, are poetic masterpieces of their own."Ken Slaughter--------------------Former editor of The Tanka Hangout, Ribbons"And there is so much in the collection about being human, being alive. (...) Her tanka strike me as light, crafted, spontaneous and almost playful, both closed and open, complex, captivating and addictive."A A Marcoff-----------------Review for Blithe Spirit Journal, 34.3
