Thanks Marion!

The next issues of Pan Haiku Review will be haibun (and tanka prose) only.

I'm releasing an essay on a particular approach to haibun which will be useful.

warm regards,
Alan

Hi Dipankar,

Hiro Sato prefers 1-line haiku in English as Japanese haiku are traditionally single lines.
Some translators have quatrains, in the past even Heroic Couplets, go figure.

A lot of haiku contain metaphor and simile (Japan, other countries) and of course metaphorical language, and the extreme brevity of hokku or haiku will bring out startling comparisons.

Many haibun editors have different views on what haibun is allowed to be.

Check out:

https://www.callofthepage.org/the-pan-haiku-review/

Also The Pan Haiku Review issue 4 later this year, will be a haibun only edition, and as a teacher of haibun, I'm very open to styles.

kind regards,
Alan

Delighted to announce I am one of the winners in the Flash Fiction category for a haibun:
https://www.bournemouthwritingfestival.co.uk/writing-competition

It was great to see both of my haibun long-listed too!

As 'Call of the Page' tutor, I've been encouraging our two haibun groups for 'The Shape of Haibun' to explore further into the publishing world. Both classes are fully booked, but a waiting list is available to sign onto.

Zoom workshop in association with the Nick Virgilio Association.

Quote from: Joshua St. Claire on February 26, 2024, 04:18:32 PMIs bones still open? I thought that its previous issue was the last one? Are they on a new website now?

I was a co-founder years ago with Johannes S H Bjerg (Denmark), along with Sheila Windsor (England), and Johannes, who became sole editor a while back, has laid the wonderful journal to rest with this last message:


This issue, no 26, is the last issue of Bones.
This site will remain on-line till September 1st 2024.
All issues will be transferred to an on-line archive at some point. News of this will be published here.

Hi Lorraine,

The final version contained an extra article by me titled:

why juxtaposition:
the shirt hung up on an apple
why 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
