That is not a misspelling. The title and complete poems are in German. A very close and excellent match. Also congratulations to the winners of the Tanka Splendor Awards for 1998, sponsored by AHA Books. Aya Yuhki - Japan Authors receive a free copy of Tanka Splendor 1998 for each winning entry.
Numbers indicate more than one entry from that author was chosen.
You may order copies of the winning tanka or tanka sequences published in a 48-page booklet, Tanka Splendor , which also contains an essay by the judge, Ms. Hatsue Kawamura, of Japan as well as one of her tanka. Excellent work by both winners and many others in the contest. Thanks to everyone who entered. Those of you wishing to publish your books of poetry on the web should take a new look at the site to see if DreamSpace is the place for your book. Sorry I am still very behind in getting the contests judged.
