It is no secret that former editor Hemapriya and I were editing smaller issues of Failed Haiku this last year. This issue does not follow that trend. I would like to thank all of the submitters in January for the wonderful work that they sent my way. I would also like to show my gratitude for the Cherita writers out there who submitted and for all the first timers that did so great. I know it’s a long issue but think of it this way, you have two months to read it instead of just one. With that in mind, submissions open again on March 10th. An open issue with no theme. Please enjoy this great issue!!!
