Hello everyone,
It is my honor to announce the launch of Multiverses, a new online
journal dedicated to publishing modern English haiku and related forms
of Japanese poetry, as well as to make an initial call for submissions
for our first issue (due out in Spring of 2012). From our editorial
statement:
"Each moment of our lives is a haiku waiting to happen. The unique way
in which we experience these moments creates an authentic and personal
reality known only to ourselves—our own little universe, so to speak.
Yet we are all part of the same sum. By sharing our individual
experiences and observations, we gain perspective and insight into the
world of others, therefore becoming better attuned and more intimate
with our own. It is with this idea in mind that Multiverses happened
into existence."
We are so excited and pleased to have an incredible team of editors, including:
Paul Smith, Tanka Editor
Melissa Allen, Haibun Editor
Alexis Rotella, Haiga Editor
Johannes S. H. Bjerg, Features Editor
Please feel free to share this post and spread the word about our
launch. For more information about Multiverses, including details on
submitting your work (deadline for our inaugural issue is February
15!), please visit www.multiversesjournal.com. We're all looking
forward to reading your work!
John Hawk
Founder, Haiku Editor
