I have power issues with my laptop so please bear with me while I struggle with this new...bump in the road.
Here are a few news items:
A new issue of Notes from the Gean was recently published online.This issue is loaded with a lot of great stuff to read. Browse over to http://www.notesfromthegean.com/ and check out the contents page.
BTW, my sincerest thanks to the editors for publishing two renray in the new issue.
Season's greetings - autumn is now fast coming on here in Kyoto. The crickets are beginning to quieten their cries.
Kindly spread the word about the Kikakuza International Haibun Contest's transmutation into next years's Genjuan International Haibun Contest if you possibly can. Nobuyuki Yuasa and I would much appreciate it being posted on any English/international haiku sites or in newsletters this autumn. The renaming is explained and guidelines outlined in the attachment (in two different Word formats). For good measure, however, I will copy them out below, too. We will look forward to another good entry from many countries around the world. Entry is free again. Deadline: late January.
The Hailstone Haiku Circle site, the Icebox, at http://hailhaiku.wordpress.com/ also carries the guidelines, as well as last year's top four pieces to read (both items are accessed by links at top right). You can also see there (scroll down a little on the top page) the book we have produced of the first three years' Decorated Works and order it if you like. There are some new translations of haibun by Basho, Buson, and Issa at the back. There will be a few review/gift copies available shortly, but only a few!
Thank you in advance for any help you can give our Contest. If ever in the Kyoto-Osaka area, please drop by.
Best wishes,
Stephen Gill (Tito)
(and on behalf of Nobuyuki (Sosui), too)
