I don’t do this often, but Jim K. is a favorite of mine and his work as an editor, publisher, and haiku poet has been established for decades now. He is also the founder and spirit of THE HAIKU FOUNDATION.

Jim Kacian, who you all know from The Haiku Foundation (and Haiku in the Workplace), has just released a new book of haiku, his first full-length collection in 10 years, called after/image. You can view a reading of one of its 3 sections here https://youtu.be/oioCwPUBzAg (filmed at Haiku North America 2017 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a couple weeks ago). And you can buy a copy from Red Moon Press here https://www.redmoonpress.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=269.

Buy it, it comes with my personal guarantee!!!

The entries are pouring, and if any artist/poet has any questions they can direct them to us if you are unsure of any aspect of the contest.

We are always looking for ‘Traditional Haiga’, using ink, watercolor, or painting of any type. I thought you would enjoy seeing the work of Ron C. Moss, who will be judging the Traditional Haiga category. Here is the link to his page on The Haiku Foundation (many other haiga artists are there as well) for you to enjoy and be inspired by:
