Because I just learned that att.worldnet will no longer be hosting personal web sites after March 15th, I want everyone to know that the William J. (Bill) Higginson's "renku" and "haikai" sites that were still being hosted on att.net have been moved; now all of Bill's sites are now available on our (my) domain, http://www.2hweb.net.
That link takes you to the main gateway to both my and Bill's sites. Links in "Bill's Main Menu", found on his home page, are active if underlined. Since Bill's att-hosted sites will disappear on 3/15, please take note and update your records. And please forward this change to any other lists or folks who might want to know.
Thanks from snowy & "blizzard conditions expected later today" New Jersey,
Penny

Penny, I do a lot of trying to give good reliable haiku information to people who are interested, and often not even poets. It would have been impossible without the work you and Bill put in over the years.
Many thanks. Merrill
I'll have to second Merrill on that.
I still remember the incredible buzz when I found not one but two copies of "The Haiku Handbook" in a small branch library in Ipswich, outside Brisbane, Queensland, Australia back in the start of the 1990s.
I knew hardly anything about haiku, but knew I found "it" when I saw that book.
I was due to take an important flight from Brisbane to Kuala Lumpur and I was able to lose myself in that book over and over again.
Kuala Lumpur might translate as "muddy confluence" but "The Haiku Handbook" was (and still is) clear as the freshest springwater.
I'm forever indebted to you and Bill for that gift.
Alan
