As I promised yesterday, the first edition of The Heron’s Nest<\/em><\/font><\/a> <\/font><\/p>\n

for this year went online today – Volume VIII: 1 (March 2006).<\/font><\/p>\n

In it, you will find 12 pages of haiku, by 99 haijin<\/font><\/a>. Please, don’t<\/font><\/p>\n

give up THN<\/em> (or f\/k\/a<\/em>) for Lent.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Naturally, many of our Honored Guests Poets can be<\/font> found in the newest edition. Gary Hotham<\/a> had two<\/font> of his haiku selected:<\/font><\/p>\n

poems of Peggy Lyles <\/font>do not appear on its pages. To make <\/font><\/p>\n

up for that <\/font>sacrifice, you can enjoy four haiku from Peggy, right <\/font><\/p>\n
