The anthology will be published, and entrants will receive their copies, later in the year 2002. These books may also be ordered separately. One of our 1997 contributors said, This just might be the most beautifully designed haiku publication of the year. One of our 1998 contributors said, The drawings have captured the soul behind the poets' words. It certainly is a real high for me to be included in this anthology.
Judges are respected haiku poets.
Rules Poems must be no more than 4 lines long. They may or may not follow the traditional 17-syllable form, but should be in the haiku tradition. Entries will be judged for originality, haiku style, content, and technical mastery. Poems may be published or unpublished, and must be in English or accompanied by an English translation. Manuscripts must be typed or printed, one poem per page, on letter-size paper, with no identifying marks.
