In 2004, I heard about Scifaikuest, a journal that publishes scifaiku and related speculative poetry. Intrigued, I submitted some poems, and was pleased to have a few of them published. Later on, I was invited by Teri Santitoro, the co-editor, to be the featured scifaijin for the November 2004 issue. Eight of my haiku and haibun appeared in that issue.
