A reading experience where I first felt that "Tanka is fun."
Among the books I've read recently, this is the one thatcompletely grabbed my heart. That was Tatsuya Kinoshita's "Tanka Class for Ordinary People." Every time I turned a page, I nodded, chuckled, and couldn't stop grinning. It might have been a while since I've read a book this
engrossed.
As a novel lover, I got hooked on Tanka
I've always loved novels, and enjoying the nuances of emotions and the flow of stories is my greatest pleasure. But recently, I've also been consciously incorporating reading for learning. I had a preconceived notion that poetry and poetry collections were somehow "difficult," so I hadn't touched them, but one day, for some reason, I
felt a spark with Tanka. I tried picking up a Tanka collection by Machi Tawara. From there, the rhythm of words began to change within me. Before I knew it,
my mind was constantly in "5-7-5-7-7" mode. Even though no one asked me to, I find myself turning daily events into Tanka. When I suddenly start reciting them at the breakfast table, my husband is a bit taken aback (haha). But next to me, my daughter mimics me and tries to put things around her into a 5-7-5 rhythm. It's just too cute and precious.
Tatsuya Kinoshita's words gently guided me into the world of Tanka
This book is truly theperfect first book for those who want to start from "What is Tanka?" What is Tanka like? How do you make it? What kind of days do poets spend? How do you polish your words? To these questions, Kinoshita-san speaks gently and rhythmically. Specific examples of Tanka and the process of how they are revised are also introduced in detail, making you feel like you are taking a workshop together. Tanka is so deep, so free, and so
capable of scooping up the "now"
. It was a series of surprises and emotions. For example— A poem where the scene instantly comes to mind. A poem that makes you think, "What on earth is this singing about?" A poem filled with the wish to "preserve this moment." All of them were beautiful, vivid, and I deeply felt that
words are amazing.
From today, I am a poet.
“I still don't know anything about Tanka.” But Kinoshita-san encourages me, saying that's fine. Above all, the words spoken in this book pierced my heart deeply. “
Call yourself a poet.
” With these words, I am now a poet. I've become even more excited about reading and creating Tanka from now on.
