    S7E46 Japanese Female Tanka Poets part 2

    In episode S7E45 we left the podcast with a bit of scandal, a menage à trois or even quattre. If you haven’t a clue what I’m on about you’d better go back an episode and have a listen. There’s some great poetry on there. You don’t want to miss out. Today I’m going to open with some poetry from Yamakawa Tomiko, explore some female tanka poets who were not included in Ueda’s Modern Tanka Anthology and then have a listen to some work from more of the female poets he did include. Lots of poetry to inspire you to write. Show notes

    Time for a bit more tanka poetry, because if you are listening to this in real time, the beginning of November 2024, submissions are open for tanka, your deadline the 15th November. This episode is about the poet Yosano Akiko, an extraordinary woman, mother, poet, essayist, traveller, co-founder of a school for girls. A feminist of her time and a woman who wrote great tanka. Hear her work, learn something of her life, find out what people thought of her in her lifetime. Show Notes

    S7E42 Hungry Tortoise Haiku

    Today we are celebrating the humble tortoise in poetry, here at Poetry Pea. If you are a regular you may well know that this little reptile is one of my favourites, actually I think it's the only reptile I could say I like. I’ve wanted to have one as a pet since I was a small child. Sadly, it’s never happened, but when Linda Ludwig sent me a video of a cute little chap having lunch, taken by her daughter Renee, it was a shoe in for the video prompt. Thanks Renee. show notes

    S7E40 A blast from the Past at Poetry Pea

    It’s our birthday. Can you believe that Poetry Pea is going into our 8th year? Seven full years and have things changed here at Pea Towers? Well some things have changed, I’m older, but more healthy so bad news and good news there. I was curious as to how the podcast had changed, I barely remember the early days (post-menopausal brain and the recent bump to the head probably). So today I'm going to revisit a couple of podcasts from the early days. How do you think things have changed? Can you help with my dreadful poem? show notes
