View Article  Congratulations to Alexis Rotella
by Charles Christian on Thu 28 Feb 2008 11:31 PM GMT

Congratulations to American poet (and IS&T haiga contributor) Alexis Rotella who has just won the Japanese 12th annual International Kusamakura prize for a haiku she actually penned 30 years ago in Italy. Judges chose Rotella’s haiku about a fishing boat arriving safely back to shore over some 700 other entries — from poets in Argentina to Serbia to New Zealand and beyond. The haiku reads...


near dusk –
sound of the last
fishing boat


Those eight simple words won Rotella some US$550 and a trip to Kumamoto City, Japan.

Starting this week we are increasing the postings to the Ink Sweat & Tears webzine from every other day to pretty much every day. We are doing this to help catch up on the huge number of submissions we are now receiving to ensure contributors do not have to wait so long to see their work published.
