Description
Urban Tumbleweed Notes from a Tanka Diary by Harryette Mullen is a poetic exploration of the intersection between city and nature. Through her daily walks, Mullen adapts the traditional Japanese tanka form to capture fleeting impressions of urban life. The poet's practice of recording her observations in stanzas reflects on our place within the natural world. As she notes, "What is natural about being human?" This question underlies her work, as she navigates the boundaries between the city and its surroundings. Mullen's unique voice weaves together words, phrases, and songs to create a distinctive poetic landscape.
