Announcing July / August 2010
"new coolness" or "lingering heat" Kukai
The July / August
2010
Kukai theme is an Early
Autumn one:
"new coolness" (shinryoo–see
500 Essential Japanese Season Words) or "lingering heat"
(summer–zansho)–seeThe
Haiku Handbook, William J. Higginson, p. 276. Use the exact words
"new coolness" or "lingering heat" in the haiku. No more
than a total of three haiku may be submitted. Haiku
submitted to the kukai should not be workshopped, appear
on-line in forums, or in print.
Haiku
Author,
Country
To:
kukaieditor@poetrywriting.org
Subject: "___" kukai
Submissions:
Saturday, July 01, 2010 – Saturday, August 21, 2010 Midnight.
Voting: Sunday,
August 22 - Saturday, August 28, 2010,
Midnight.
The results will
be published in the Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Sketchbook 5-4: Results of the
July / August 2010
"new coolness" or "lingering heat" Kukai.
Letters to the
Sketchbook editors and discussions on
various forums indicate that some assumptions about a
kukai must be spelled out. From now on (April 1, 2008),
Haiku entered in the Sketchbook
kukai must be previously unpublished; they must
not be workshopped; they must not appear on any list,
forum, group, blog, or in print. In short, if the haiku
has appeared on the internet or in print we consider it
to have been published. The voting in a kukai is
anonymous and publication anywhere voids anonyminity.
Any haiku found to be previously published will be
disqualified.
A kukai is a peered
review poetry contest. A haiku Topic is assigned by the
editor. An 'anonymized' list of submitted haiku is then
distributed to all participating poets and they are
invited to vote. Votes are returned to the editor who
tallies the votes and publishes the haiku for the
participants, this time with names and points revealed.
