This month the Failed Haiku ‘guest editors’ will be Lori Minor and Chase Gagnon!!!

This is  HAIGA ONLY issue, and here are the editor’s guidelines:

“For this issue of Failed Haiku, We’re looking for Haiga! We want to see haiga that transcend both the image and the poem, and become something completely new — Simply put, we want to see the image and the poem “spark” together like steel and flint, creating a fire of resonance! All mediums are welcome, from photographs to paintings and everything in between. We can’t wait to see your work!”

PLEASE SUBMIT up to THREE HAIGA ONLY TO editor@failedhaiku.com!!! Submissions for this issue are now open and will close at midnight EDT on the 25th of the month.

“Send  haibun that tries something completely different, that takes the form to a new level, that experiments, that plays into and with the senryu concept!”
Unpublished but previously published considered if first pub. credit included in info to editor. LIMIT THREE Haibun per submission.
Publication is called “Failed Haiku -A Senryu Journal” so haibun must contain only senryu, not haiku. Previously published senryu ok in the haibun if noted to the editor.
Haiga haibun will also be considered.
SUBMISSION PERIOD:  10TH TO THE 25TH
All submissions sent to editor@failedhaiku.com
