Poetry by Michael P. Garofalo



“Yes — Michael P. Garofalo very actively experiments with quintains, both as a poet and as a researcher of five‑line poetic forms. His work includes writing thousands of quintains and maintaining extensive studies on the structure, history, and variations of quintain poetry.

Evidence from his published work

  • He has published large collections of quintains in Bundled Up, Volumes 1-5, which contain over 2,500+ Quintain poems.
  • He maintains a dedicated research project on quintain poetry, covering definitions, rhyme schemes, metrics, examples, and bibliographies.
  • His site includes studies of multiple five‑line forms: quintains, pentastichs, cinquains, tankas, quintets, quintillas, gogyohkas, and more.

What “experimenting with quintains” means in his case

Garofalo’s experimentation includes:

  • Writing large volumes of original five‑line poems
  • Exploring diverse quintain sub‑forms across cultures
  • Analyzing syllable counts, rhyme schemes, and structural variations
  • Creating hybrid or playful forms such as “Onions” (his term for 5‑line poems)
  • Documenting and comparing poetic traditions” – Ms. Ai, Microsoft Co-Pilot

book unopened

          hidden potential
covered insights
closed ideas
     Waiting...

between
two eternities
     my brief life
               is stretched
tight

My experiences
have not broken me;
     but, indeed,
     have bent and twisted
          my identity.

Tanka Poetry Books Reviews by Mike Garofalo

Amazon Reviews by Mike Garofalo:

The Tanka Anthology. Edited by Michael McClintock, Pamela Miller Ness, and Jim Kacian. 2023, 240 pages. 

Here is my Amazon review: "800 of the best tanka in English by 69 of its finest practitioners. This is an outstanding collection of Tanka poems in the English language. Easy to hold in one's hands, light, compact, good quality print and paper. Very good choices by the highly qualified editors. Most Tanka are in the minimalist style: lowercase, no punctuation, 5 lines. For a paperback, a bit expensive at $34, but worth the higher price. Includes biographies of the authors. No introduction. Good enough for many rereads!"


The Way of Tanka. By Naomi Beth Wakan. Shantee Arts LLC, 2017, 146 pages. $15.00. VSCL. 

Here is my Amazon review: "Tanka are brief 5 line poems, typically using 19-33 sound units, uncapitalized, with little punctuation. This is a good brief introduction and guide to the reading and writing of Tanka style poetry. Many fine Tanka are included and briefly analyzed. She provides a few insights into the proper construction of the Pivot Point, Turning Point, the Volta, the Twist, usually in the 3rd line. (I have added more comments on the Pivot Line above.) She emphasizes the importance of a dramatic and surprising phrase in the last 5th line. She makes clear that writing English language haiku cannot follow some Japanese Tanka standards or sensitivities because these two languages have many differences in the sound elements, homonyms, more rhyming in Hiragana, culture, and poetic heritage. The Tanka form has been used since 800 CE in Japan. She includes a few of her longer Tanka sequences. She discusses tanka collage, tanka montage, Haibun, McClintock's Taika, Kyoka tanka wit and humor, minimalist tanka, response/dialogue tankas, Ekphrastic tanka, love tankas, travel/place tanka, diary tanka, tanka strings, nostalgic tanka, tan renga, confessional tanka, and tanka sequences. Japanese terms like wabi, sari, aware - mono no aware, kyojo, makoto, shibusa, and kokora are briefly explained. Ms. Wakan provides a brief bibliography and lists of online resources. She talks about the authors that influenced her. A fine companion to The Tanka Anthology (Edited by McClintlock, Ness, and Kacian, 2023) or Four Decades on My Tanka Road: The Tanka Collections of Sanford Goldstein, 2012."


Four Decades on My Tanka Road: The Tanka Collections of Sanford Goldstein. By Sanford Goldstein. Edited by Fran M. Witham. Preface by Patricia Prime. Winfred Press, 327 pages, Second Edition, 2012.

Here is my Amazon Review: Selections from 6 of Professor Goldstein's books: This Tanka World, 1977; Gaijin Aesthetics, 1983; At the Hut of the Small Mind, 1992; Records of a Well-Polished Satchel, 1995; This Tanka World, 2001; and, Encounters in this Penny World, 2005. Includes a selective bibliography, and a biography of Professor Goldstein. Some introductory notes. Over 500 Tanka in this attractive anthology. Good paper and clear crisp print. $22, Paperback. VSCL. Professor Sanford Goldstein (1925-2023) is often called the "The Grandfather of English Tanka." These Tanka are nearly all in lower case, using only a comma or dash for punctuation, 5 concise lines, mostly free verse style. He includes more gritty, earthy, and intimate aspects of living. These poems reflect many of his experiences while living in Japan for decades. Sometimes, the stark brevity of the Tanka style can lead one to the edge of insight, but they are often too thin to hold up the pants of a deeper understanding."
