The heart of a woman of thirty Is a measure of fire, Having neither shade, nor smoke, Nor sound. It is a round sacred sun In the sky at evening; Silently, Penetratingly, It burns-burns. -'Dance Garments', Akiko Yosano Yosano, Yanagiwara, & Kujō were all leading poets in the 'new tanka' movement in Japan in the early-1900s, following Masaoka Shiki's reforms. When translating their work, Hughes and Iwasaki drew on contemporary 'free verse' poets for inspiration, which had themselves drawn on late-1800s and early-1900s translations of tanka and haikai as models; "Free verse poems, as brief as possible, not too musical nor yet too prosaic, seem best to convey to Western ears the sense and effect of the original." With the redness of the setting sun I flame, Thinking of you. Heaven and earth, Cloud and water, Life and death: There is neither end nor beginning- That is all I feel sure of. -2 tanka, Akiko Yanagiwara It is possible Hughes and Iwasaki were also influenced by Takuboku Ishikawa, a well-known Japanese tanka poet who adopted a 3-line approach to waka in the early-1900s, and Yone Noguchi and Jun Fujita, who pioneered 4-line English-language tanka, in the mid-1910s and early-1920s. I am wrapped in silk The color of flame, But my body-my bosom- Is cold. Spring night. Silence. The rustle of my dress Falling to the floor. Silence. -2 tanka, Takeko Kujō Public Domain Press is dedicated to producing new editions of out-of-print poetry, particularly with regard to compressed & fragmented 'free verse' from the late-1800s & early-1900s.

These are not simply "reprints" of previously existing books, but newly crafted collections, lovingly edited from public domain material, for the serious poetry lover.
