Modern Haiku, Asahi Haikuist Network, & Poetea

Charlie Trumbull reports that the mailing of the autumn issue of Modern Haiku was completed earlier this week. This is the largest MH yet—156 pages—and includes features on the love haiku of Raymond Roseliep (Randy Brooks) and the senryu of Tsuru Akira (Richard Minear) and an essay-review by Scott Metz of The Haiku Universe for the 21st Century, plus the usual offerings of hundreds of haiku, senryu, haibun, haiga, etc. Sample work will be on the MH Web site very soon: <www.modernhaiku.org>. Single copies are still $11.00 postpaid in the US. Inquire at <trumbullc@comcast.net>.
