Hope you're all keeping flu free and warm, that the wood is dry and the soup bubbling!
The site has had its monthly overhaul so please read and, I hope, enjoy. This month's article is an attempt to make a definition for tanka written in English. Very thoughtful and with three authors, each of them noted in their field/s (editor, translator, writer), bounding with ideas.
Don't forget to make a note in your diary to visit the Windrift stall in Wellington's Town Hall at a festival on July 11.
If you're not a member of the Poetry Society think about becoming one today - your membership fee, which is a very reasonable $40 to have your newsletters posted, $30 to receive them by e-mail, will help fill the huge gap left by the withdrawal of Creative NZ funding. Read further details here.
As always, if you have articles, details of contests or magazines, or general news and photographs from the world of haiku please send them for consideration.
