Hi Lorraine,
The final version contained an extra article by me titled:why juxtaposition:
the shirt hung up on an applewhy wrong can be right in haiku
Alan Summers (October/December 31st 2023)Issue 2 took a lot of very long extra hours, that weren't planned, to accomplish, so that a lot of other projects were put back by a year.
Issue 3 already has a lot going on, and it's all about the words this time, and how we use them in different genres.
The reason why the new journal is called "Pan Haiku" Review is that it's absorbed all the journals I was running plus the new ones such as photohaijin (will come back in 2025) and Planet Tanka, which is a feature within the Summer issue of Pan Haiku Review.
Babylon Sidedoor will be back in Issue 4 (Winter 2024) as a haibun special issue (max. 1,500 words)
As Pan Haiku Review aka PHR is a one-person operation to put together, this year that's plenty. Both Call of the Page, and myself as an individual, are super busy. I'm bringing out at least one chapbook, that should have been out before Christmas (2023), also one special book, plus at least one full collection (haibun).
I wish I could spin more plates, but Call of the Page is flat out, and that's exciting!
Alan
