The Pan Haiku Review

"I've loved the journal from the beginning because it's not mainstream. Poets taking risks, trying something new. And it's huge, there's so much reading to do." - Lorraine

“Reading the new Pan Review slowly, savoring...It's wild, exotic, and exhilarating. It takes me places I never even considered. Each haibun place I stop, surprises me, and makes me pay attention. It can't get any better than that.” - Jo

“Yours is a wild and crazy publication and I am delighted to be part of it!” - Alanna C. Burke

“I think Pan Haiku Review is really energising the haiku/haibun scene” - Sheila Barksdale

Tension can be included via storytelling, topic, twists,
