James Tipton's latest book, All the Horses of Heaven/Todos los Caballos del Paraiso, which Alexis Rotella calls a "rare combination of mostly erotic tanka...that at the same time celebrate...the poet's life in Mexico," is available through Modern English Tanka Press.

Also recently published, Washing Dishes in the Ancient Village/Lavando platos en el pueblo antiguo, is a collection of 100 short poems, in both English and Spanish, about Mexico and Latin America. Some of the poems are humorous, some are erotic, all very human. One critic calls these "haiku on testosterone". The book is available for $10.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling through Bread & Butter Press, 1150 S. Glencoe, Denver, CO 80246.

Another recent collection of haiku, Proposing to the Woman in the Rear View Mirror, which William J. Higginson, author of The Haiku Handbook, says are written "by a man who is not afraid to be himself," is available through Modern English Tanka Press.
