We recognise that haiku is now a worldwide phenomenom: the internet has enabled poets from different hemispheres to publish their works simultaneously and we have assembled a global team of editors in response to this perceived seasonal problem.
In the interest of fairness to our readership, issues of Notes From the Gean will not, therefore, be tailored to any particular season nor have a culture bias but rather our focus will be on the quality of the work.
We welcome your submissions of up to 10 original haiku and/or senryu.
Submissions of up to 10 original tanka
Up to 10 Haiga (modern or traditional) will be considered.
Renga, haibun, and sequences will not be considered at this time.
All poems/artwork submitted to Notes From the Gean must be unpublished, either in print or electronically, and not under consideration elsewhere. Haiku that have been uploaded to sharing networks or blogs will be deemed as published and those that are work-shopped on closed forums will be considered as unpublished.
Place all haiku and tanka submissions within the body of your email.
Attachments will be accepted for haiga only. Please do not send haiku or tanka by attachment.
Only send name and location with your submission for haiku and tanka; no biogaphical sketches please.
