Summary: Transparent images, translucent words
Comment: Why do I rejoice in Margaret Chula's new volume of tanka poems, Always Filling, Always Full?

Poetry is a window and a mirror, and Margaret Chula's poems are composed of the finest glass. She shapes translucent images to clarify the outer world known by our senses. She breathes transparent words to illuminate the inner world only half-known by our hearts.

Chula's images - copper leaves, fireflies, spring nests - call us to let the body's knowledge of its surroundings shine through into awareness.

Her words - about being in love and out of love, about encounters with sorrow and bewilderment and acceptance - challenge us to light our own lives with honesty.

Page by page Chula demonstrates her mastery of the English-language tanka, a five-line form adapted from Japanese literature. With contemporary content and traditional techniques she creates patterns of subtle yet deeply moving resonance between natural image and emotional insight.

The passion and elegance of these poems, collected from Birkenau and Kyoto, from backyard and bedroom, will illuminate every corner of your world.
