Great issue Colin! ;D I always look forward to reading NFTG. Thank you for your dedication to this lovely monthly publication. I (and so many others) appreciate it a lot.

Chase

looks cool! I'll buy one. Cant wait to read it :)

just checked the site. I think I'll try to get together some one line haiku... I've never really attempted one, but it will be something new to try :) Thanks for starting this exciting new journal!

So excited for this! :) are you accepting tanka?

I have about ten tanka ready to go, and about 4 haiku :)

Awesome issue Alan!

I recently published a book of three line free verse. These are not haiku in any way, but I think they're fun :) Have a read?

EDIT: I'll re-post this when it is available on amazon

I submitted a previously published one, and two new ones :) Sounds awesome.

Thanks Alan and Stewart :) The print version is now available in our school store. Everyone loved it! We'll have the Ebook up on our site soon :)

Awesome! I sent in a submission. I think it will appeal to the general public, well I hope! lol

Kelsey has started her own journal, (through the high school) and she is looking for short form poetry. The journal will be published in the school newspaper and on our site. Kelsey has written a few haiku, but her "micro" free verse poems are amazing. She is basically caught somewhere between the two, and that's why she started this. It'll be really cool to see poetry in the ABHS paper... I'm predicting that most of the poets that will submit will be high school and college kids, because there are posters around the school... but anyone is welcome to send her work. More info will come soon... but from now on Kels will be posting info and updates about this. Here is a link

It was awesome. Everyone was really cool and the ginko was BEAUTIFUL. I'm going next year for sure!

Well worth the twelve hour drive :)

Hi Stewart,
I just got to the hotel in Chapel Hill NC. After a twelve hour drive!
Too bad you cant go, but I cant imagine driving from CA to NC lol.

I'm off to bed, I'll post about what happened at the meeting tomorrow

Here is a free verse poem I wrote, I think I did an okay job reading it
