Tipton Poetry: Local Global Lit Mag

Tipton Poetry Journal is one of those great, saddle-stitched journals that looks local, but packs a helluva global content. The Fall 2010 issue includes a kasen renga, a form of Japanese collaborative poetry consisting of a chain of 36 verses. “Kasen Renga: Autumn” is a collaboration between Joyce Brinkman, Kae Morii, and Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda. Also featured is Rohana McCormack’s “First Snow” – an English translation of Sergey Yesenin’s original Russian poem, “Я по первому снегу бредуand,” and Liang Yujing’s “Four Pseudo Haiku” written in English and self-translated into Chinese.
