The Haiku Foundation Forums

Greetings all. Speed Bump Journal, a new micro-journal for haiku and senryu, is now live. This link will take you to Volume 1.1

http://speedbumpjournal.wordpress.com/speed-bump-1-1/


Access each poet's work on individual pages below the "Speed Bump 1.1" icon on the upper left of the main page. We have open submissions, so please consider sending us your best work. Thanks and welcome!

Would you like to be a "book giver"? Volunteer book givers are needed for World Book Night, April 23, 2014. Sadly, there are no haiku books being given away this year, but there is a book of poetry and many wonderful fiction and non-fiction books for young adults and adults. Maybe one day, there will be haiku books given away on World Book Night. I hope some members from the haiku community will consider applying to be volunteers for this wonderful event. Details here:

This costs you nothing but your time. Applications close January 5, 2014.

Are there any haijin in Tucson or the surrounding areas? At one time there were, and I would like to re-connect or make new haiku friends. I would like to plan a ginko and get-together at the Murphy-Wilmot library on Saturday, January 25, 2014, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please feel free to post or contact me if you would like more information.
