Anna, all.
---I have since purchased and read "A Long Rainy Season".
---The haiku were ok to good.
It was the second half, tankas, that split me open.
I've picked up the book several times in the month that I've owned it, in search of inspiration within this fresh and spirited collection.
---That Alan read it in the 1990's and was changed, and my read of it in 2016, opening my mind to these contemporary women, speaks well of the enduring quality of this anthology.
