Publication: Poetry in Atlas Poetica “Tanka of Flowing Tranquility”
…it is the quiet humility of tranquility that may help to save us. While we absolutely must recognise and fight against the evils that multiply around us, it’s also essential that we give awareness and energy to the good.

“Tanka of FLowing Tranquility”
Exciting news: My first-ever officially published tanka is now live, as part of the Atlas Poetica/Keibooks special feature “Tanka of Flowing Tranquility”!
The collection was edited by the kind and conscious writer, editor, and designer Kira Lily Nash. It features 26 short poems written in the tanka form, chosen to provide moments of restful peace in a world that encourages us to hurry, worry, and fixate.
Many of the collection’s poets have quite illustrious backgrounds and biographies, and I’m honored to have my work included alongside that of people so very much more respectable than I am. (Read that as tongue-in-cheek, but also true.)
If you’re seeking beauty or inner stillness, the collection has lots to offer. Why not go and see for yourself?
Cultivate and nourish the tranquility that rests within all of of us. It may seem hard to find, but really it’s just lying dormant, like a spring that waits patiently for the rains to come. Take the time to breathe.
