Over the past couple of years I’ve been collecting haiku resources on the web, and, since hearing this talk, haiga as well. Here are some recent finds:
- Daily Haiku, “a print and online literary publication that exists to promote and preserve the written art of haiku.” One haiku is published every day on their website.
- John Hockensmith, like me, tries to write a haiku every day. His blog is no more moon poems. He also suggested Issa’s Untidy Hut, a blog by Don Wentworth, who publishes a small-poetry magazine called The Lilliput Review.
- Lidia Rozmus’ haiga, with brush strokes and caligraphy.
- Lastly, because I like found poetry: I recently found Haiku DB, which scours the internet for unintentional haikus. The about page says
