catching up with Montage
It's been a while since I mentioned The Haiku Foundation's comparative haiku feature, Montage. And that's too bad, because this weekly offering of 21 haiku by three English-language haiku poets (or, occasionally, poets in translation) is always worth a visit.
This week's Montage, "Three Poets of the U.K.," features work by John Crook, Caroline Gourlay, and John Barlow. I'm an incurable Anglophile, so I reveled in these brief glimpses into the English countryside . . . and a creative spirit distinct from anything on this side of the Pond.
Last week's feature, "Looking With the Universe," offers work by three editors of the venerable haiku journal Modern Haiku: Robert Spiess, Lee Gurga, and Charles Trumbull. This assortment might be particularly helpful for anyone thinking of trying this market, or just looking for a snapshot of the current state of American mainstream haiku.
