resonance

A New Resonance 5, in which I am featured along with 16 other "emerging voices in English-language haiku," is now available from Red Moon Press

www.redmoonpress.com

The other "voices" include my friends Collin Barber and Keiko Izawa among many fine poets.

As the number in the title indcates, this is the fifth in a series that is now published semi-annually. Red Moon also publishes a yearly anthology of haiku in English. The most recent is Big Sky (2007). And they publish many other titles of interest to anyone who is interested in haiku and other Japanese forms.
