Very classy venue. Glad to read your work there!

[Michael Cantor]

Congrats, but the link doesn't work for me. And when I google (thinking there might have been a typo) the link I get there doesn't work either. Other google links bring me (a) a notice that the site is shutting down at the end of 2009, and (b) another blog indicating that it isn't. Haiku wars?

Gentle haiku souls
exchanging hints and whispers
spin an online web

Thank you Janice / Michael for the congrats:

I had a few problems with the links today - I knew they were putting the new edition up today, and when I went to it found I had to register now to access it, which I never had to do before - also even after registration I got through to a strange page in which none of the links worked - however the above link works fine for me now - the link for the tanka page (of which our Tanka distinguished guest Amelia Fielden is editor) is:

I didn't even know SH was back! Shows you how out of the scene I have been this past year.

Anyway, nice placement Steve, and and nice work. I love "windowed wall."

Congratulations.

Hi Steve,

Like the meditative dervish dance. Don't remember that one from the workshop. Good energy to get things out there. The magazine looks like a good guide to exploring these forms. Congratulations.

Oh Steve, this is wonderful news! Well done! (and thanks for the link).

Thanks all -

I'd like to point out too that if you click on the (introduction) link at the head of each section you will find some very good guidelines on the forms.

There was some very good tanka produced in that workshop by the members here, very much of a quality worth 'putting out there' I think.
