Quote of the day

behind summer
behind the evening sun
behind sadness,
there must surely
be angels

—Kuriki Kyoko, "Behind Summer," in Natsu No Ushiro / Behind Summer: Japanese Tanka Poems (Charnwood: Ginninderra Press, 2005), p. 60.

    I love this one.

    You know, with the help of a friend, I'm discovering poetry for the first time in my life.
