Please note: Atlas Poetica was published by
Modern English Tanka Press of Baltimore, Maryland, for the
first four issues. Those issues will continue to be available
for sale through themetpress.com. As of 1 January 20101,
Atlas Poetica will be published by Keibooks of
Perryville, Maryland. A new redesigned website will be
announced soon and will be the 'one-stop' up to date location
for all Atlas Poetica archives and current

published two times a year, but starting in in 2010, will be
published three times a year.
Atlas Poetica is pleased to welcome Alex von
Vaupel as our new technical director. Alex is a fine tanka
poet in his own right, and will be serving as webmaster of the
revamped site and assisting in other matters.
A press release with full details will go out when the new
site is ready.
