This "unsurpassed collection", featuring 481 English-language tanka by 68 poets, also includes an extensive introduction by Michael McClintock, together with useful bibliographies of tanka books, english-language collections and journals, and details of tanka organizations.

From the blurb:

"The Tanka Anthology presents in one volume a generous, broad sampling of the finest tanka poetry by contemporary English-language practitioners from around the world. For the past thirty years the poets represented in these pages have taken up the diverse ores of culture, language and human experience to forge a personal, direct, concise and brilliant poetry that brings new sources of delight and power to the modern reader—and a new chapter in the development of the short poem in English."
