Publication notes, Submissions, and a Conference

Musical Chairs: A Haiku Journey Through Childhood by Alexis Rotella is available at scribd.com. Here are three poems from the collection:

To a box turtle
my brother plays
harmonica.

In the haystack
hiding
Mama's needle

Grandma
and her old Singer
both humming away.

    Curtis:

    I really appreciate the notice about the Bashô Haiku Challenge.

    I'll be announcing some additional prizes, courtesy of Jim Kacian at red moon press, this week.

    And no obnoxious reading fee!

    Thanks again for passing along the word.
