SUBMISSIONS TO “HAIKU NEWS”

Haiku News is always looking for haiku, senryu, tanka and kyoka poems to publish in concert with news stories. Some poets prefer to write in direct response to the news and if this is the case please include a link to the news article you were inspired by. We also accept the submission of poems which do not refer to a specific news items, or which respond to a local or world event, without a specific headline in mind. If this is the case, the editors will find a headline which works appropriately with the poem, in consultation with the poet.

We do not publish all poems received and will only publish those that are quality poems, regardless of whether they are traditionally considered news worthy (we accept poems on all news – from the intimate to the intimidating, from the personal to the political). We also prefer poems which are able to stand alone (without needing the news story to make sense) but which enrich the news story upon making the connection.

For those of you who are new to haiku it is worth mentioning that we do not consider 5-7-5 to be essential to a haiku poem. For a very brief outline of the kind of haiku we are interested in see here and have a look at the poetry we have previously published. If your poem is accepted you will be notified by email within a few weeks of receipt and the poem will be published at the discretion of the editors (usually within a month of acceptance). Although we are called “Haiku News” we also accept senryu, tanka and kyoka.

..

SUBMISSION PROCESS
What to include: the poems, your full name, your email address, and a link to on-line coverage of the news item if you have one, with subject heading: Haiku News Submission.

Where to send it: the4shades@gmail.com

Please Note: Put the poem (or poems) in the body of the email as we do not open attachments.

PAYMENT AND RIGHTS
At this point we cannot offer any payment for your haiku news articles. We do not mind if the poems have been published elsewhere, but please let us know where they were published so we can credit the original publisher. If this is the first place they are published, Haiku News receives first serial rights to the poem. Reprint rights revert to author 30 days after first publication in Haiku News, so long as subsequent publishers credit Haiku News with first publication.

Hortensia Anderson's last poems

From John Wisdom on Hortensia Anderson's last poems:
"Hortensia's last poems that I managed to salvage. She was rushed a bit, given her schedule of every conceivable ailment, but still wanted to keep receiving feedback."

autumn dusk -
the boulder's shadow
slips into the sea

mackerel clouds -
gulls dive into
their reflections

autumn rain...
the grapes taste sweeter
this year than the last

1.     remaining heat (zansho, early autumn) in the Five Hundred Essential Japanese Season Words Selected by Kenkichi Yamamoto  Translated by Kris Young Kondo and William J. Higginson Edited for Renku Home by William J. Higginson on-line http://www.2hweb.net/haikai/renku/500ESWd.html#AUTUMN--THE%20SEASON 

Higginson also translates zansho differently elsewhere (see number 2 below):

2.      lingering [summer] heat (zansho) in The Haiku Handbook: How to Write, Share, and Teach Haiku. William J. Higginson with Penny Harter. Kodansha: New York, 1985, page 276.

3.     In World Kigo Database: Dr. Gabi Greve on-line: http://worldkigodatabase.blogspot.com/2005/01/autumn-aki.html

kigo for early autumn

***** Lingering Heat (zansho 残暑　nokoru atsusa 残る暑さ：
shuusho 秋暑（しゅうしょ,  aki atsushi 秋暑し（あきあつし）
sensho 餞暑（せんしょ）"farewell heat"

zansho refers to hot days after the official beginning of Autumn according to the the Asian lunar calendar of risshuu　立秋,  August 8 . The word "lingering" zan in Japanese, gives the haiku poet a feeling of "not for long any more", and the heat will be easier to bear.
zanshoo lets us feel the heat of summer, whereas
shuusho lets us feel a welcome "cool" heat of autumn

Only Dr. Gabi Greve’s saijiki  includes the Japanese characters.
