Tanka Society of AmericaAfter
thinking about it for many years, and planning it for about a year, I founded
the Tanka Society of America. I organized and led the inaugural meeting on 14 April 2000, at the Global Haiku Festival at Millikin University in Decatur,
Illinois. Fourteen poets were present for this inaugural meeting, mostly at my
invitation. By the end of December 2000, ninety-six poets had joined the
society as charter members, and the society thrives today with nearly 250
members, primarily in the United States. For more information about the Tanka
