A list of literary journals where my poems have been published.

Blithe Spirit

BLITHE SPIRIT is the quarterly print journal of the British Haiku Society. Each edition aligns a selection of haiku with the current season while also featuring haiku, senryu, tanka, haibun, and linked forms submitted by members from all over the world.

Toward the back of the journal you’ll usually find a series of essays discussing contemporary and traditional haiku practices, techniques of the masters, plus the history and development of the haiku form. There is normally a selection of reviews introducing the latest chapbook and poetry collections.

My poem ‘Along the Rural Road’ was published in Blithe Spirit Volume 29 Number 1 (Winter 2019).

50 Haikus

50 HAIKUS is a literary journal featuring only Haiku poetry in open form. Each issue contains exactly 50 Haiku poems by established and emerging poets.

Although it is common to find constrained forms of Haiku, counting morae and marking the kigo etc., 50 Haikus looks only to the content of the poem: short lines with meaning. Poems should say a great deal in what amounts to a handful of words.

Featuring fine selections of haiku by Kate Alsbury, Sandra Barnett, Kylie Benavides, Connor Bjotvedt, Ingrid Bruck, Erin Castaldi, Anna Cates, Eve Chilicas, Donald Clermont, Stephanie De Haven, Steven Duncan, Michael Flanagan, Susan Gentry, LFJ Gill, Shasta Hatter, Bob Howe, Melinda Irvine, Erin Jones, Lianne Kamp, Rebecca Kane, Craig Kittner, Joseph Kleponis, Joseph J Kozma, Adam Leckrone, Bruce Levine, Thomas Locicero, Martha Magenta, Beth Mathison, Jackie Maugh Robinson, Eliah Medina, Bill Melton, Ayaz Daryl Nielsen, BanWynn Oakshadow, Rachel Pond, Linda Sacco, David Anthony Sam, Clarise Samuels, Angela Sargent, Ron Scully, JR Vork, Sandra Wells, Rebecca Wener, and Dawn Wing.

Each edition of the journal is both printed and available online. My poem Storm was published in Volume 1, Issue 11 released on 28 May 2017 by Prolific Press.
