While being short-listed does not guarantee inclusion in the final version of the anthology, the finalists will be drawn from the Short List.
All poets have been notified of their short list status and provided with an opportunity to grant permission and make any necessary corrections. If a poet appearing on this list has not received their notification, they should check their spam filters and make certain they are set to allow communications from Take5Tanka@gmail.com and Keibooks-Announce@
Poems cannot be published without receiving the poet's explicit permission. Poets who do not respond, or who cannot be contacted by the editor-in-chief, will have their work omitted from the final version of Take Five, Volume Two.
Meanwhile, the editorial team for Take Five, Volume Three, is already at work. Further information about Tak5 Vol 3 will be forthcoming at a later date.
Congratulations to all the fine poets!
