2010 SCHSG Anthology goes to press!

Dear Haiku Friends,

I am very pleased to announce that an island of egrets... the 2010 Southern California Haiku Study group Anthology is complete and ready to go to the printer.

Our new book will be perfect-bound with a full-color heavy-stock cover, featuring 267 poems, including a fine selection of regional Spanish Language haiku with English translations.

I think you will be very pleased with the superb quality of work in this, our 10th Anniversary Edition!

Because I just learned that att.worldnet will no longer be hosting personal web sites after March 15th, I want everyone to know that the William J. (Bill) Higginson's "renku" and "haikai" sites that were still being hosted on att.net have been moved; now all of Bill's sites are now available on our (my) domain, http://www.2hweb.net.That link takes you to the main gateway to both my and Bill's

New HaigaOnline is up!

This is one of the best issues HO has published IMO. The Contemporary Haiga collection on the theme of domestic animals goes far beyond cute puppies and kittens. Hats off to Linda Papanicalou for her skillful editing.

I am deeply honored to be a featured artist in the 2009 Winter Solitude issue. One of the pieces is a collaboration with Canadian poet Laryalee Fraser, an eminent writer/artist of international renown. Indulge yourself with a visit to her personal haiga page:

Roadrunner - three new haiku.

painter/poet Michele Harvey's website

Be sure to visit Michele Harvey's newly updated website. Not only is she an accomplished poet, but a well-known landscape painter, with work currently showing in NYC and Provincetown, Mass. The subtlety and grace of these mystic images reveal another level of her finely tuned poetic mind.

The Shiki Monthly Kukai

Quoted from the Haiku World website:

Our kukai has two divisions each month, called the "Kigo" and "Free Format" sections. In each section a topic word or phrase will be provided, and poems are to be composed using that topic word or phrase. In the "kigo" section, the word assigned will be a "kigo" -- a "season word" -- and is intended to be used in a way representing the "season" of that kigo. So, if the kigo was "cicada", each submitted poem must include the word "cicada". Unless specifically stated, the plural form of the word is also allowed. In the free format section, the assigned word will not necessarily be a "seasonal" word, and the poet is free to either place the topic word in the season of his choice, or to write a season-neutral poem that includes the topic word.
