Welcome to Jane Reichhold's world of poetry that will make you say, "Ah ha!" as you discover and explore the many short form genres of poetry. May your time on this site be blessed.

Thanks to Maya for finding a better home for all the work so many did with the translation.

Dear Lynx Readers, Thanks to your good wishes and prayers, my tail bones are knitting nicely so that I have been able to exchange the walker for a cane. However I still do not have the ability to sit in a chair for as long as it would be necessary to compile an issue of Lynx. We do have a full issue! So, Werner and I have decided we should skip the June issue of Lynx to try for the October one. This is the first issue we have missed in 24 years, so it is with great regret that we ask your cooperation with this. Please hold your submissions until we do get an issue out. All the materials accepted for the June issue are now being held for the October issue. If this a problem for anyone, let us know so we can work it out. Jane & Werner On Tuesday, March 11, President Obama signed into being the Point Arena -Stornetta National Preserve. That is about 12 miles up the road from us, but this is just across the road.
AHA Books is proud to announce the publication of SYMBIOTIC POETRY
multi-genre / multi-media in action by Jane and Werner Reichhold As a backup and a reinforcement to the idea that we need a new term for the poetry inspired by or based on genres from other cultures, Jane and Werner Reichhold have compiled works that prove the richness that results from symbiotic poetry as already represented through their magazine Mirrors and then from Lynx for over 20 years. Here you can discover and read poetry freed from imitation but still closely inspired by other cultures that appear mixed in startling ways. Poets and writers will be stimulated by the combination of solo works from these two authors plus the unification of their poetry, creating a new kind of multi-genre, multi-media anthology. List Price: $14.00, 7.5" x 9.25" (19.05 x 23.495 cm), 282 pages, 2014. Available from CreateSpace Store $14.00 https://www.createspace.com/4529473

~*~ AHA Books announces two new books that are very special and yet have no haiku or tanka in them. In 2001 Jane became interested in a system of daily prayer known as a "Divine Office" - getting business-like and serious about prayer. Inspired by Jim Wilson's Zen Book of Hours, Jane created for herself A Book of Hours for the Grateful Heart that is non-denominational; it is for the spiritual. This project is now available for others in
an 8 x 11 coil-bound book of 118 pages. It is like a workbook so that the prayers are completely individualized with your concerns and your friends and family. Because doing the Liturgy or Divine Office usually involves the use of the Psalms, Jane found she could not pray them because of the ideas of violence and retribution given to the idea of God. Also knowing that the Psalms are some of the most magnificent poetry, she set the lines free of chapter and verse to return them to being verses as they were intended. In Psalms As New Testament God is returned to the New Testament idea of being loving and compassionate part of our lives.
Psalms has 300 pages in 6 x 9 perfect-bound, cover - by Heidi Vetter!. Both books are available at Lulu.com Blessed be! ~*~ The newest is now up for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this a very special issue. ~*~

This issue of Ribbons contains the article, "Teika's Ten Tanka Techniques" which you can read here. ~*~
This is the latest book of tanka and haiku from AHA Books with an outstanding difference! Hans-Peter Goettsche, of Berlin Germany, a friend of Werner's since their days at art school, has added his marvelous artwork. In 1990 the Pickle Family Circus came to Bower Park outside of Gualala. The poems written that day were sent to Hans-Peter and these are the drawings he made for those poems plus his own thoughts and memories of circus events he had known. Poetry and drawings to tickle your funny bone and put a tear in your eye as you survey the human condition. Perfect bound, 10 x 7 inches, 86 pages, ~*~ The book, White Letter Poems by Fumi Saito, has been out-of-print for several years. So as of today it is now on the web for your enjoyment. Re-reading her tanka has certainly enriched my day. I hope you will click through and read or download the poems.
