Happy Halloween Haiga 2013!

Posted on by

Hi everyone.  I hope all of you in the Northern Hemisphere are enjoying the autumn weather.  Here in Alabama the leaves are beginning to turn and  firewood is stacking up in preparation for winter.  I hope to hunker inside and work on getting Prune Juice out to you all in the next couple of weeks.  This volume is pretty packed with great senryu, kyoka, haibun and haiga, as well as a very informative and entertaining feature by Bruce Boynton.  It may take you a couple of nights to get through it all!

As always, if anyone has comments or suggestions, do not hesitate to send them my way.  Together we will keep “The Juice” fresh!

Written in the Face of Adversity:The Senryu Tradition in America by Ce Rosenow

I would highly like to recommend that everyone out there interested in senryu and it’s history, read the article by Ce Rosenow, “Written in the Face of Adversity:The Senryu Tradition in America,” in the WInter-Spring 2013 issue of Modern Haiku.  This is an excellently written, well researched article by Ms. Rosenow and clearly shows how senryu can go well beyond light humor and satire.  As stated in her conclusion, “When its focus centers on human activities during times of great difficulty, senryu offers moment by moment reiterations of human persistence in the face of adversity.”
