   Great essay, Alan. Fascinating insights on the nature, function and importance of senryu. Stunning examples and artwork. I greatly enjoyed it and think it would benefit anyone interested in this ancient Japanese form.

   Best,

   Paul

      Thank you! I have been a long term supporter of senryu writing, and appreciate the resurgence of this genre as its own distinct arena.

   Alan, I absolutely love this article. My muse has been sleeping for a time, but recently I’ve started poking at senyru again. Thanks for the reference to our book.

   Best Regards,
   Missy Russell

      I was very proud to have had my tiny part in supporting the book, and being asked to write a little blurb. Wonderful project and glad the article prompts your muse again. 🙂

      warm regards,

      Alan

   Thanks again Mike, and adding the two links is also deeply appreciated.

   Although I am saying I was introduced as Alan Summer (not Summers) by mistake which the subtitles don’t pick up. That was a brief ad lib on the day. 🙂

   warm regards,

   Alan

   Thank you!

   I’ve tried to show why senryu can be decided a serious and separate genre.

   warm regards,

   Alan
