As well as our regular Haiku, Tanka, Renku, Haiga, Haibun and Expositions sections, AHG 3.3 features:


Issa's Humanity and Humour: A Haibun Passage from His Travel Journal Oraga Haru

Everyone loves Issa's haiku for their immediacy and evidence of his seemingly simple humanity, yet we don't always pause long enough to study the context that might expand our appreciation. Ray Rasmussen, one of the four founders of A Hundred Gourds, returns as guest author of this issue's feature, an in-depth study of one of Issa's haibun passages. Ray demonstrates that the time taken to read and reflect more thoroughly brings great rewards.
