Under the Basho - a New Online Haiku Journal
Welcome to
Under the Basho a literary online journal of haiku and hokku.
Under the Basho is a journal that will emphasize and celebrate the differences of five variant haiku styles including their progenitor and DNA, hokku. It is a journal that will present these styles through exciting collections of talented authors and their poems. We have chosen this approach in order to offer a common-ground venue for folks to read and explore these particular approaches at the highest standard; and, to maintain an educational site where folks can study, learn, and understand each style that draws their interest.
We are also soliciting articles that proffer information and education regarding any of the styles we're currently publishing. Please email an informal query prior to submitting an article.
With great thanks in our hearts, we are formally open to accept submissions of poems, papers, and inquiries. We're excited about the focus of our journal - a single location for publishing haiku of differing principles and aesthetics.
