WORLD HAIKU REVIEW
Re: Call for Submissions for the Next Issue
Dear Kuyu,
The next issue of World Haiku Review (WHR) is planned for
Spring 2012 (end March or early April).
As for haiku poems in English or in English translation,
send in by e-mail anything you like, traditional or
non-traditional on any topic, free or formal style, kigo or
muki, up to ten poems which have not been published or are
not considered for publication elsewhere to both:
kalaramesh8@gmail.com
AND
susumu.takiguchi@btinternet.com
Please use the font "Ariel", size 12 and present your haiku
in the simplest and most straightforward format, all
starting from the left margin, avoiding fanciful layout and
formation. Please do not forget to write your country with
your full name. Suggested themes: Life and late winter
and/or spring scenes
The only criterion for selection is quality. Please
therefore send in your finest works as soon as you can.
For this issue the deadline
is Sunday 25 March. So, please hurry. We ourselves
will put selected haiku poems in either the Neo-classical,
Shintai (or new style) or Vanguard sections according to
their characteristics. You, as the writer, therefore need
not worry abouth this classification. Just send what happens
to come out best and we will do the rest.
As for other works relating to haiku (haibun, articles,
essays, haiga or bookreviews on haiku etc.), just send in
whatever you think would deserve publication in WHR. Once
again, quality is the key.
If you have books which you wish to be reviewed, send a
review copy to me.
I will mention some indications about our selection below
for those who may be interested to know them. (For detailed
explanation, visit the Editorial of WHR August 2011 at:

We wish to continue to endeavour to present a unique haiku
magazine which, while deeply rooted in tradition, is full of
new ideas, innovative features or critical views. It will
continue to aim at the highest standards and top quality as
always.
Kengin to all,
