My main project of course is : Wisteria: A Journal of Haiku, Senryu, and Tanka.

Hope everyone has a great summer!

Wisteria Petals Fall

The last 6 weeks have been a roller coaster here.

I spent 7 days in bed with fever and flu, then worked 10 straight days (12 hour shifts), spent 5 more days sick with a cold and sinus infection. Then had immediate family members become ill. March was a bad month and missing spring was no fun. Already humid here in early April.

Try to finalize a new poetry journal on top of that....

Well, good news; we are in better health and the first issue of Wisteria was mailed out today.

We now await your new submissions for the July issue. If you need a copy of the first issue, see the website for ordering instructions.

I have a lot of catching up to do on the blogs; will post as I can. I'm still working on the very late March issue of Gin Bender to post online.

Anyway, see you around the haiku block,

TAT
