Pan Haiku Review issue 5 (Summer 2025) – A haibun and tanka-bun edition plus the supplement/art special feature: Pan Haiku Review #5 Special Haibunga Gallery Supplement featuring Tim Roberts is out. It’s going to be an interesting and enjoyable read during the week and a keepsake edition!
Grateful to Alan Summers, Editor for including my haibun “Backscatter” in the bumper issue. Great to have him back in action after the elbow injury and tough surgery.
VSANA featured this Home stone last month—an attractive hut stone with a natural aged appearance, collected several years ago in the Yuha Desert in extreme southeastern California near the borders of Arizona and Mexico.
Grateful to Tom Elias, Editor for publishing both my #tanka and a #senryu on their website.
Honored and grateful to be featured in “Haiku Commentary” on 1st September, for my “summer solstice”haiku which won the 2nd Prize in the Japan Fair Haiku Contest:
