• HaikuOz, the journal of the Australian Haiku Society, announces a new international biannual haiku journal Chrysanthemum. Gabi Greve is one of these editors and will be translating English language submissions into German (Thank you Gabi san!) The listed URL does not work yet (site under construction).
  
  Chrysanthemum is an international internet magazine that will appear twice a year, and will showcase previously unpublished Haiku/Senryû, Tanka, Haibun, Essays and Interviews in German and English. Haiku/Senryû submitted in English will be translated into German, if not already accompanied by a German translation, which is welcome but not required. Tanka, Haibun, Essays and Interviews will appear only in their original language. Submissions in languages other than German or English are also welcome as long as as they are accompanied by a translation into German or English.
  Chrysanthemum welcomes work based both on traditional values as well as modern, innovative contributions in form and content, although there will be a special focus on innovative work of quality. Chrysanthemum hopes to achieve a connection between the heritage of the genre and the development and adaption in countries outside Japan.

• From WorldKigoLibrary: SOME PHILOSOPHY AND PERSONAL NOTES ON HAIKU by Paul MacNeil, Florida, USA
  
  It is my conviction that much short poetry is mistakenly shared as "haiku." I ask rhetorically (and others have posed this long before me), "why call it haiku?" By this I mean, why call what you write "haiku" if not to acknowledge the tradition and philosophy of the "haiku" that is Japanese haiku? The differences of language and form are very well covered in an essay by a Japanese, Keiko Imaoka. Her writing has influenced me. http://epiphanous.org/mark/haiku/resources.html
  and Mark Alan Osterhaus: http://www.execpc.com/~ohaus/haiklink.htm
  Among others, look there for definitions by Barlow of Britain, Alexeyev of Russia, Mena, Missias, Higginson, Davidson, and Reichhold of the USA. At a website http://www2.ori.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~dhugal/haikuhome.html

Washed ashore in today's websurf:

• Haiku, Haibun, Haiga by Ray Rassmussen ~ Do not miss this site! Artistically, it is one of the best personal websites I've run across. Fresh, energetic writing from a master haijin. I especially recommend the haibun section (Rasmusen is webmaster of Contemporary Haibun Online). The links and didactic sections are worth the trip alone. The linked photo gallery is pure gravy. Enough raving, just go...
  .
• a procession of ripples: an anthology of selected haiku ~ Laryalee Fraser has put together a collection of fine English language haiku from such notable haijin as: an'ya, Robert Wilson, Jane Reichhold, Mike Rehling, Lorin Ford, Carol Raisfeld ... The accompanying photography suggests the haiga tradition. Pure pleasure here. There is even a page that formats printouts for you!
