3. The Tanka (with Alisha Hall)

Third time's the charm! Connor talks Tanka with photographer, magazine editor, and cherished partner, Alisha Hall. 
The two start by discussing the therapeutic uses of poetry. The example poem, read by Connor, is by Takuboku Ishikawa and is unintentionally SLAMMED. Connor and Alisha then each read their own original Tankas (one of which is then set to a familiar Johnny Cash tune). Alisha and Connor discuss the use of imagery, word choice, and writing a poem that is open to multiple interpretations.
