Caught in a Hazy Dream: Contemporary Tanka Poetry
Caught in a Hazy Dream is a beautiful compilation of tanka and haiku that explores the delicate interplay between nature and the human experience. Tiffany Mackay masterfully blends traditional and modern elements to create a work that is both timeless and contemporary.

Inside, you'll find:
  • Five themed sections: memory, love, growth, transformation, and dreamscapes
  • Contemporary themes blended with Tanka-inspired elements
  • Moments captured in nature and everyday life
  • Each poem is uniquely paired with visual art, reminiscent of Hagia


Perfect for poetry lovers seeking a modern take on a classic form, readers who appreciate brief, impactful verses, and anyone looking to explore the spaces between waking and dreaming, past and present.

Here's a glimpse of the Tanka within:
endless blue above
mountains blur like watercolors—
on the picnic blanket
I drift off, caught between
reality and a hazy dream


Tiffany Mackay's work has been featured in various publications, such as Humana Obscura, Cold Moon Journal, Plum Tree Tavern, Japan Society London Haiku Corner, Haikuniverse, and Scarlet Dragonfly.

Note: This collection contains freestyle tanka poetry that often breaks from strict 5-7-5-7-7 syllable patterns to better suit contemporary expression while also creating a visual experience reminiscent of Hagia.
