Issue 40
To celebrate issue 40 of Eucalypt we have a lovely, refreshed cover design by Matthew George, and a new website to bring together
in one convenient place all the information, e-newsletters, links and scribble award poems.
Twenty years of tanka poetry in a printed journal is a milestone to celebrate.
Eucalypt is going strong and we look forward to another decade of beautiful, original, and timeless poems expressing the wide range of human emotions.
Glad to have you along for the journey!
