~*~ AHA Books announces the newest online book SONGS This fifth book of tanka by Gerard Conforti demonstrates an even greater sophistication with the form. Each of his collections has had the effect of peeling away layers of his being and his observations until this one approaches the very core of his being. The poems, or songs as he calls them, are the result of his outpouring of love for his mother who has been locked up in Rockland State hospital since Gerard was four years old. Though she is unable to recognize or see him, Conforti continues fling his love out across the universe to her in his poems. ### AHA Books announces the newest online book OPENING THE PODS These short, but rich, poems were originally published in Dutch in 1977 as Ontbolstering. Now Silva Ley has translated her poems into English. Silva Ley, who has taught school for 35 years, has always written poetry in addition to her several books of scholarship. Though these poems are not strictly haiku or tanka, their quality, and way of seeing the world, are very clearly related to Japanese genres. Her deep insight into life and children, tempered by her kind humor, gives her poems a depth and richness to reward the reader. ~*~ On October 5, 2008 Fred Adler on FM Station KTDE
