The Haiku Foundation Forums

Dear John,

I think there may have been some academic books published that cover the concept of ma quite thoroughly, though they may be hard to locate. Unfortunately I no longer recall what leads I had to this information...

For now though, you might find plenty to sink your teeth into with this article (forgive all of its typos): http://www.henkoosterling.nl/sens-com.html

It's pretty dense, and full of reference to post-modern philosophy, but I'm fairly sure it could shed quite a bit of light on thinking about ma if you can plod through it.

Dear all,

I was recently notified of a UK university postgraduate journal calling for papers "On Brevity" with specific mention of haiku. It seems like an opportunity not to be missed, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to write anything in time. Perhaps someone on here might be interested?

Here's the link to the call:

and a link to the journal homepage:
