Readers will find tanka from just under two dozen Australian poets, as well as a range of longer pieces. Submissions have come from all over Australia, with a sense of place also showing through in work inspired by international locations. Catchment proudly presents poetry from Japanese and Western cultural traditions in parallel, while likewise offering work by emerging writers, alongside contributions from established poets.
