    S8E8 The Poetry of Alienation

    This week I want to return to thoughts of the Poetry Pea Anthology, Little Marvels for 2025, which if you’ve been listening to the podcasts this year you’ll know is on the theme of belonging and alienation.

    Don’t worry, you have time to think about your submissions, your invitation will be arriving at some point later in the year… of course later could be next month or five months away. What you need to do if you would like to submit is make sure you are on the mailing list. You can sign up on the Poetry Pea website. Only poets on the mailing list will be invited to submit. I do check.

    So anyway a few weeks ago, in episode 5 of this series I discussed the idea of belonging and the various ways we can interpret that in haiku and senryū. Today I’d like to focus on alienation.

    S8E3 The Great Fool Poet Ryōkan

    Some poems for you to contemplate and perhaps wonder:

    • Why is this poet not considered one of the great masters of the Japanese short form
    • Could you have lived as he did
    • What brings you joy in life

    Now perhaps you're inspired to write some haiku / senryu or even tanka.

    S7E53 The Poetry that is Tanka

    shownotes

    This is the very last Poetry Peacast of season 7, a special one, full of your original tanka poetry.

    Thank you to all of you loyal listeners and all my new poet friends who have joined us this year. It’s a treat for me to spend time with you and to read your work during the submission periods.

    I enjoy the comments that our lovely editing team make when we read your work and I learn so much from the interaction with them, so thank you to all the members of the various teams, Liam, Robert, Vandana, Lev, Matt, Linda, Shane and Richard and to two of the team who left this year Ron and Lorraine. Much love to you all.

    I do need some team members who would be interested in helping to get the Poetry Pea facebook group up, running and continuing. Volunteer if you can and tell me what would you like and expect from us on Facebook? I’m pretty clueless as I haven’t really used it, but I’ll learn…

    To everyone who keeps me on my toes with emails, I thank you for them, I can be slow in getting back to you, but I do read all my emails and do my best.

    Thanks not just to poets who submitted to the tanka submissions but also to the judges who stepped up to help me, Matt Defibaugh, Robert Horrobin and Lev Hart, but also to Allyson Whipple, who not only judged but sat in for me on the recording of the judging when I was in a bit of a pickle. She’s a star… and you may know this already but she is taking on the editorship of Frogpond Journal next year. Good luck to you Allyson, I hope that won’t mean we hear less from you. Do support Allyson in her new role and inundate her with your work, when you’re not sending it to me of course.

    See you next week for season 8!
