Of course, Sanford Goldstein's work with tanka sequences and strings was an inspiration, as was translator Carl Sesar's Takuboku: Poems to Eat, which was, fittingly, a gift from food writer John Thorne. Later, though I had written a few sequences, Marilyn Hazelton of Red Lights was an influence, spotting sequences in my submissions of individual tanka that I hadn't seen. And, of course, where would tanka prose in general be without Jeffrey Woodward's championing of the form in The Tanka Prose Anthology and the journal Modern Haibun \u0026amp; Tanka Prose? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs soon as one starts thanking people, there is the risk of leaving someone out, which I don't want to do. M Kei of Atlas Poetica, Beverley George of Eucalypt, Claire Everett of Skylark were also encouraging editors. There were others. I would like to thank them and everyone who's encouraged the appreciation of tanka. And I would be remiss not to bow to the many wonderful writers of the form. The list of journals in the acknowledgements should indicate the scope of my gratitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Lucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9363540170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789363540170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyberwit.Net\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.17d","brand":"Bob Lucky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874342088959,"sku":"9789363540170","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/careful-not-to-startle-the-bob-lucky-9789363540170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
