Covid changed so much. It disrupted the world and our lives. When I started this blog in 2020, I tried my best to document all (free) haiku journals and blogs around the world that I and my fellow haikuists could submit to.
Coming back into the haiku world, I anticipated a smaller community, still recovering from the shock of a global pandemic. Given that Shamrock closed it doors, I expected many more loses. Instead I found over a dozen more new (to me) journals and more opening every day.
In particular, I stumbled across Poetry Pea. By no means a brand new journal (it was founded in 2017), it’s only recently been on my radar. If you get the chance, check out their podcast, The Haiku Pea Podcast. They showcase haiku from their own journal as well as others, release themed episodes, and discuss the fundamentals.
I highly recommend listening to Episode 21 from Season 4: Haiku are seasonal…aren’t they?
