Per Diem Archive: J. Galmitz and P. Pfleuger, Jr. 2011, Trends
Trends in contemporary (2011) haiku practice
The first collection of haiku for the Per Diem project was assembled by Jack Galmitz and Paul Pfleuger, Jr. Their purpose in selecting these poems was to consolidate what they felt were interesting trends in contemporary (2011) haiku practice, and so this gathering of poems might be considered an anthology of the state of haiku in English for that time. These 60+ poems were selected without regard to theme or month of appearance, and the seeming lack of unity served as an example of irruption, one of the key principles these editors espoused as exemplary in the haiku of the day.
