Haiku of the Day for June 2023 features Guest Editor Yvette Nicole Kolodji’s collection on the theme of singularity. Here is her introduction to the theme.
For the month of June, let’s explore the concept of singularity. It
can be only one or infinite depending on the definition. Throughout
this month we will explore the oneness from an object, moment, or
feeling as well as the infinite within our ancestry, history, or
universe. As haiku poets we can appreciate the contrasting application
of singularity. This topic helps us examine scale and how it can
enhance our poetry.
Thanks,
