Poem in Laurels

Laurels, a webzine published online by the Tanka Society of America, published one of Andrew’s tanka in its August 2024 issue (#2). This issue was devoted to lighthearted and humorous tanka known as “kyoka”.

Andrew’s poem, which is included in his forthcoming collection of 200+ tanka titled Little Studies in Loveliness, is:

with a little
moderation, I reckon
I can spin out
the pleasure of this cookie
by at least three or four bites
