AHG 4.2 Feature –The Seabeck Haiku Getaway: an interview with Michael Dylan Welch


Aubrie Cox, our haiga editor, was on the spot for the annual Seabeck Haiku Getaway,  which is held in the beautiful, historical mill town of Seabeck in Washington, USA, close to the Canadian border.  Aubrie has conducted an in- depth interview on the subject of this enviable retreat with the founder and organiser, Michael Dylan Welch.   

Expositions Section

Due to the unexpected departure of Matthew Paul as Expositions editor last year, A Hundred Gourds will be looking for a suitable editor for our Expositions section in 2015. Please direct any inquiries regarding the Expositions section and submit reviews, essays or commentaries for 2015 issues of AHG to me, Lorin, until further notice.
In this issue, Michael Dylan Welch explores the use of haiku in David Patneaude's young-adult novel, Thin Wood Walls, Jim Sullivan comments on two 'bee' haiku and Cynthia Rowe and Ray Rasmussen review recently published haiku books.
