Modern Haiku<\/em><\/a> is a journal not a genre. We wish this much-respected source of haiku poetry and essays were fully-available online. It isn’t, but you can see a sample of the haiku, senryu, and haibun from each edition at its website, plus a featured essay. Any day now, the Summer issue of Modern Haiku<\/em> should be out, and available by subscription;<\/a> with samples online.<\/p>\n

update<\/em><\/strong> (June 8, 2008): We hate to drop names, but yet another haiku luminary stopped by this week, leaving a thoughtful and positive Comment. This time, it’s Charles Trumbull, the Editor of Modern Haiku<\/em>., who recently produced A Guide to Haiku Publications<\/em>, 2008<\/a> (pdf). Charlie offers<\/a> some useful information about his publication, and correctly points out that Modern Haiku<\/em> posts a lot more of its contents online than other print-based haiku journals and publications.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
