Wisteria: A Journal of Haiku, Senryu, & Tanka

After 2 years of planning, I announce a new journal. Wisteria will be a self-published small size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) print journal dedicated to publishing haiku, senryu, and tanka poetry.

Please see the guidelines at http:wistaria.blogspot.com

The first issue will be released in April 2006. Help spread the word to all your fellow haijin! We are currently accepting submissions for 2006.

Thanks for your support.

Busy & Alive

Fellow Bloggers & Poets:

I'm still alive and kicking...have been busy with Christmas, New Year, and a new job that started on the 1st working 12 hour shifts. Trying to get re-adjusted to work those night shifts.

Will post and comment when I can. Between a job, family, Gin Bender Poetry Review duties and finalizing plans for a new journal to be announced this year, not much free time for my own writing.

Happy New Year and hope yours is Blessed as mine!
