Variations on the Planets, a short chapbook by Mark Gilbert and Eavonka Ettinger, is available in paperback at minimum price via Amazon. It combines science & sci-fi in 37 individual #haiku within 8 poems. See amazon.com/Variations-Planet… or your own country's equivalent site.
Very grateful to Iliyana Stoyanova for putting together another excellent copy of Blithe Spirit via britishhaikusociety.org.uk. As a sampler here is my autumn-flavoured #haiku:-
fresh damsons
a neighbour's token
of goodwill
* The damson is a small plum-like fruit used in jams etc.
I am very much enjoying issue 3 of The Bougainvillea Journal, a selection of #haiku and articles expertly chosen by @Effulgent_Zeal. A couple of favourites of mine appear, alongside other works by talented poets.

Very pleased to see this up on dadakuku.com, many thanks to editor Petro C.K. I estimate it to be 40% topical. #monoku #senryu
Proud to contribute to the latest Turning Japanese column at Suspect Device, expertly curated by @TimGardiner3. The Last Samurai theme was tricky for many, I believe, but the variety of responses (see link below) are worth checking out. Great work by all.

Many thanks to editor Roberta Jacobson for including this minimalist #haiku at SMOLS, the place for the eclectic ultra-short, weird or otherwise. This has a touch of #Halloween as well as #assonance.

Pleased to contribute to the latest Haiku Dialogue theme Intoxication, Writing Poetry. Thanks to editor Deborah Karl-Brandt. Great to see haiku poets write about writing and use various techniques to do so within the #haiku realm. See the link here thehaikufoundation.org/haiku…

Many thanks to editor Petro c.k. for featuring my rather cynical poem at the place for dada poetry, dadakuku. It looks like prose or a prose poem but actually isn't. dadakuku.com/2026/09/19/the-…
I'm very proud of these three #senryu which have been published at Five Fleas Itchy Poetry along with other wacky works by talented writers - many thanks to editor Roberta Jacobson.

Honoured to appear in the latest Quail Eggs A Tanka Journal, a superb place to find examples of this ancient form (much older than #haiku btw). Thanks to editor Alison Williams.
