Introduction

This site is currently being comprehensively redesigned and updated. The new site will be launched in May 2008.

In the meantime we are committed to keeping as much existing and new content available as possible. For the latest news and developments please see below.
The old Flash site is viewable by clicking the animated logo opposite.
If you cannot see the animation please download the free Macromedia Flash plug-in (approx. 60 second download).

If your computer won't support Flash, several facilities are still available.

Complete current haiku and tanka competition details and results are available by clicking on the relevant link.

It is also possible to order any of our books or subscribe to our journals online or by mail order.
