These writers
grab the shirt of life by the collar, yanking rings of words out onto the page.
It's a fight for love and glory and the 
WEST BANK poets ride a horse that was rode hard but not put away yet. They steam open your lost love letters to remind you of what you thought you'd never forget.
Tanka, sijo, ghazal and haibun show the skill of the  EAST BANK poets and demonstrate their ability to imbue few words with much meaning.
These poems are like a fine wine. Roll them on your tongue, savor their beauty. They have an excellent bouquet.

"A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its
curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out." Virginia Woolf
