I didn’t get out for apple picking on this lovely late-September <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
Saturday in Schenectady.  But I did make my first visit to the <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
online haiku journal Haiku Harvest<\/A><\/EM>, which is published and edited <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
by poet-author <\/FONT>Denis M. Garrison<\/FONT><\/A>.   Here’s how Garrison describes <\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
this source of fine, modern haiku and related forms<\/FONT>:<\/FONT><\/DIV>

HAIKU HARVEST<\/FONT> Journal of Haiku in English<\/FONT><\/STRONG> is<\/EM> <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
dedicated to publishing and promoting haiku, both in <\/EM><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
the western tradition of classical haiku and in all related <\/EM><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
forms. We give generous space to poets so they can <\/EM><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
demonstrate the range of their haiku and we promote <\/EM><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
innovative ku by providing a showcase for poetry in new <\/EM><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
forms that are serious attempts to assimilate the haiku <\/EM><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
tradition in forms within the English poetic tradition.<\/EM> <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
\n
A number of f\/k\/a<\/EM>‘s Honored Guest poets have been featured at<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\n
Haiku Harvest<\/EM> since it began publication in 2000. Here <\/FONT>are two <\/FONT><\/DIV>
