I am very pleased to announce that scent of rain: the 2011 Southern California Haiku Study Group Anthology
is complete on its way to the printer. From our first beautiful
hand-made 2001 edition with eight founding haijin, we have grown to a
volume featuring 62 poets. Our new book will be perfect-bound with a
full-color heavy-stock cover, featuring poems in both English and Spanish
(with English translations). This collection emphasizes our unique
climate and geography, our rich cultural diversity, and the broad
range of experience of our contributing haijin. I think you will be very
pleased with the superb quality of work in this edition.
The Anthologies will be available at our annual reading and celebration at the Pacific Asia Museum, 46 North Los Robles, Pasadena, CA, on Sunday, November 20th at 2:00 p.m. There will be another reading in San Diego at The Ink Spot, the
downtown gallery loft of San Diego Writers, Ink, located at 710
13thStreet, San Diego, CA, on Saturday, December 3rd at 1:00 p.m. Please
mark your calendars. For those of you who have paid for postage, the
books will be mailed Monday, November 21st.
