New to Haiku – Status Update

Hello friends of New to Haiku!

I thought I’d give you an update on things here. In short, my shoulder recovery hit a snag and it’s going to take a while for me to get back to normal—or perhaps adjust to my new normal.

For now, New to Haiku is moving forward with one post monthly. Starting in October 2024, I’ll be posting on the first Sunday of each month at 11 am Eastern. I’ve got three terrific poet interviews queued up and I can’t wait to share them with you!

I took this near Gambrill State Park in Maryland, USA. Isn’t the fog gorgeous?

Thanks for your continued support of New to Haiku and The Haiku Foundation.
