New haiga by Jeff Winke

Could Be Damn Near Magical
Even an expectant, bright-eyed face couldn’t mask it. All show, no substance. Standing at the top of the zigzag iron-rail fire escape bolted to the 100-year-old brick building, there is a theatrical hue to what could be damn near magical. Her face is in auburn-hair shadows as she bends to near full lean over the guardrail. From a gentle – almost sexy – smile made dazzling by pixilated sunlight, her lips move to what appears to be the forming of a word. She spits. A clear dollop of her essence hits an upturned face more accurately than a seagull spotting a newly-washed car. her soft sigh fills an empty space in a dream * Jeffrey Winke is a haiku/haibun poet and public relations counselor. Recent publications include That Smirking Face, a haiku-art broadside collaboration with Matt Cipov (Milwaukee: Distant Thunder Press, 2008) and PR Idea Book: 50 Proven Tools That Really Work (Denver: Outskirts Press, 2006). www.jeffwinke.com Sunday, August 23

Regular haiga and taiga contributor Pamela Babusci has a new tanka collection – A Thousand Reasons – here is the blurb...
a thousand reasons to leave him a thousand reasons to stay... withering bamboo – Pamela A. Babusci A Thousand Reasons contains 120 individual tanka by Babusci, whose work is familiar to readers of literary journals and online sites in the U.S. and around the world, as well as an introduction by award winning US poet Tom Clausen and an afterword by British poet/songwriter and editor of Three Lights Gallery Liam Wilkinson. "She has a daring in her tanka that both upholds certain traditions as well as offers groundbreaking exploration of her uninhibited inner being," writes Clausen. "This collection of tanka goes well beyond love to touch on every woman’s concerns and, for that matter, every person’s joys and struggles." Babusci has received honors in: the Museum of Haiku Literature Awards; the International Tanka Splendor Awards; the Yellow Moon Tanka Competition (Australia); the Kokako Tanka Competition (New Zealand); the Basho Festival Haiku Contests (Japan); the Suruga Baika Literary Festival (Japan); and Joint Third Prize for the First With Words International On-Line Haiku Competition—among others. In 2008, she both sponsored and adjudicated the First International EroticTanka Contest. Babusci is also an acclaimed haiga artist. For more information about A Thousand Reasons (softcover 80 pp, cover price $14.00) or to order, contact Pamela A. Babusci at: 150 Milford Street, Apt. 13, Rochester, NY 14615-1810 USA or email her at: moongate44@gmail.com  Friday, August 14

Lilies stiff as wax
perch on the air of the park; open-mouthed they sing. Trail of smoky cloud curling over pencil trees, hangs like a question. * Jacky Taylor is an arts education professional and lives in Portsmouth. The first three pages of her novel won second prize at the Winchester Writers Conference. She has now written the other two hundred and ninety five pages of it. She writes fiction and has just started to submit seriously. |
