Contemporary Tanka Poetry

Tanka and Haiga combined make a memorable and beautiful essay in short form poetry moving comfortably between seasons, emotions and lazy dreams of delicate gossamer.

Caught in a Hazy Dream from Tiffany Mackay captures fleeting moments forever with gentle wording, which can be read as singular pieces or over several pieces to gain an impression of seasons changing, dreams forming then slipping soundlessly into the ether.

One hundred small but perfect poems capture many of life’s special moments, some as simple as a smoke filled sky or a misty morning overlooking a lake, to the astounding beauty of a towering maple trees, to introspective moments which we all, at some time in our life journey, contemplate.

Tiffany Mackay was facing change in her life, passing through a period of introspection which offered her the time to sit and observe; to be able to watch nature at work, the changing seasons and the often unnoticed emotions captured in the fragmentation of time.

Over this time she has, in delicate strokes, used the time old form of Tanka poetry to create what she considered as often spontaneous moments of inspiration.

The journey through Caught in a Hazy Dream is one of comfort, as each piece has been carefully wrapped in delicate washes of colour, following the traditional Japanese art form of Haiga which makes the perfect pairing. It is her hope, that the words reach out and invite all who indulge in the moment to pause, allow nature to touch and transport you to a place of refreshing energy,

Contemporary, timeless and a collection to be returned to time and time again, Caught in a Hazy Dream is pure elixir for the soul.
