the Living Haiku Journal

[Don Baird]

Hello fellow haiku poets and members!!!


We have introduced the Living Haiku Anthology which has raised a lot of excitement and joy amongst readers and writers of all styles of haiku around the world!

This is an inclusive anthology; it is one of the many voices that are living, breathing, and writing haiku today! It is one that accepts and embraces published works - to give them a public home to be read and enjoyed over and over again.

We have just opened it up for submissions! Please, everyone, drop by the page ... know that we are doing our best to represent all haiku voices well ... and fair.

You can submit up to 15 haiku initially. Following that you will be able to develop your presence there (a Living, organic, developing, morphing Anthology) up to 50 poems. (and maybe more once we have this project running smooth and well developed)

You may also submit any poems that you have written up and including to 2012. Please wait to submit poems that you have written in 2013. Those will be encouraged in a few months - 2014.

Visit the page. Write me your comments. Visit us on Facebook!!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/haiku.anthology/

Bring all voices: all poets welcome; submit your finest material and be proud of an Anthology that is for you as well as the readers!

This is a place called home. Park your poetry in this archive of excellence!

Thank you!

Don, in addition to writing haiku, I also write scifaiku. Are you looking for forms like science fiction haiku and horrorku as well or are you only focusing on variations within haiku itself?

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Julie,

We're focusing on haiku/hokku and not quite ready for scifi and horror-ku.  Thanks for thinking of us however. We have acceptance for 5/7/5, haiku (shiki), modern haiku, and stand-alone hokku.

We want to include as many folks as possible, from all over the world.  It's a world anthology - voice.  Best quality poems .....

thanks,

Don
