Tofino Poet Laureate, Joanna Streetly, featured the following tanka on her blog for National Poetry Month Day 7 (April 7, 2020):
between the spokes
of your spinning wheel
a dusty web . . .
I never thought our lives
would so quickly unwind

Welcome to this archive of my published poetry, photography and art. Thank you for allowing me to share my creative passions with you, and for taking the time to visit.

I unfold my origami self / and swim into a lake of fire / washing my hair in ashes / the crane-legged words / of a thousand burning poems.
