Modern English Tanka is dedicated to publishing and promoting fine English tanka. We are interested in
both traditional and innovative verse of high quality and in all serious attempts to assimilate the best of the Japanese
waka/tanka genres into a continuously developing English short verse tradition.
Modern English Tanka changed ownership July 2009 and is not accepting submissions at MET Press. Modern English Tanka is on hiatus
for the rest of 2009 and will reopen under a different publisher (Michael McClintock) in 2010 at which time he will announce the particulars.
