  2. S7E50 What if Frankenstein wrote haiku?

    S7E50 What if Frankenstein wrote haiku?

    Why do you need to have a listen to this week's and last week's podcasts? Well because the first submission period of 2025, yes, 2025 is nearly upon us, and it's scifiku. Just scifiku. One of the last things Debbie said to me was something along the lines that she wouldn’t be her if she didn’t write about Mars. So I’d like you to follow in Debbie’s footsteps and write about all things scifi. To help you along the way I’ve got some favourites from the episode previously inspired by Debbie which were published in Journal 2:22, some poems from scifiku masters and to end a little bit more Debbie. One very important thing to tell you before we head over to the poetry… I have an open submission period, deadline 21 December 2024 for Split Sequences. You can write them on your own, or collaborate with your mates, either way, there will be a print and PDF version of Split Peas, the Poetry Pea split sequences journal, out early in 2025. Don’t miss the deadline for submissions! show notes

    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
