The Librarian’s Cache – Haiku Page: A haiku journal edited and published by JQ Zheng

In Issue 10, Zheng writes – “Haiku Page started as a brochure. It’s a joy that Haiku Page can provide a platform for poetic expressions in the oddest times of our age. This issue includes special features of Jim Kacian’s one line haiku, which he calls monoku in his essay “The Shape of Things to Come,” and Christine L. Villa’s original artwork made of alcohol ink and colored pens. This issue also includes a collection of haiku, tanka, haibun, tanbun, and photoku by poets from Canada, Croatia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Romania, Scotland, UK…” A brief biography of Zheng can be found on his Poet Profile in the Haiku Registry.

the zebra crossing

with moonlight
