A happy Haiku Summer Camp to you all! What a joy to be coming into haiku and in what good hands you find yourselves. Take your time in the moments you are to share, breathe them in and bring them forth! We look forward to your works.

Please wish your mentees the greatest success and creative edification for me with their summer compositions and riveting studies and discussion, such an exciting time poetically to thoughtfully examine this realm of fascinating nature (and striking humanity) so buzzingly on overt display perhaps more perceptibly than in any other season, for good and (at times, with the smoke and broiling, canary in coal mine warning siren senses) ill indeed both!
I hope everyone is learning many fascinating and instrumental things and finding opportunities for mindful engaging with the world around them on its terms, the positivity and opportunities for growth and synchronicity, shifting of paradigms and creating valuable increases in awareness and thoughtful intentions can't be overestimated.
I hope you are each finding tremendous happiness and inspiration in passing along your profound knowledge and incredible wisdom, the community are truly lucky and blessed to have your brilliance and kindness, patience and thoughtful acumen generously at their disposal! Wishing all the very best with deepest admiration and warm regards always from Minnesota, take care~ <3

The magic of haiku exists in memory, imagination and the here-and now. Haiku are linked to our seasonal awareness and occasionally with a special place or significant other.
Haiku render the moments we so dearly want to preserve, but often elude us.

As an editor, I'm excited for each new submission notification that pops up in my email. In order to have successful journals and anthologies, editors need poets to send in their work!
Editors couldn't do this without you. I know it can feel vulnerable to put your work out there, but I've found haiku editors to be a particularly friendly and supportive bunch.
Have fun, and good luck!

Congratulations on joining the Haiku Summer School at Call of the Page.
Haiku has helped in sharpening my observation skills, becoming more aware of the environmental challenges that abound, and keeping things minimalist / simple. I hope that you enjoy engaging with haiku, and more importantly, choose to share your unique voices with the community around you. Good luck!
