Some of the poems in this collection were first published in the following newspapers and journals, to whose editors many thanks are due: Asahi Shimbun/International Herald-Tribune, Bottle Rockets, Haiku Canada Review, Haiku Quarterly, Hummingbird, The Mainichi, Taj Mahal Review, Wild Plum and World Haiku Review. A selection of thirty published haiku appears in Under the Basho s Living Haiku Anthology (livinghaikuanthology.com). The photograph on the cover ('Roadside stand near Birmingham, Alabama', 1936) was taken for the Farm Security Administration by Walker Evans and forms part of the Farm Security Administration Office of War Information collection (US Library of Congress). |
