Post date: Jul 08, 2021 6:13:23 AM

Haven’t been adding much to Graceguts lately, but here’s a whole bunch now, as follows:

• One new essay, “The Heft of Haiku,” on the Essays page, describing what may be a new way to think about the size and feel of haiku in English.

• Two haiku contest results, plus commentary, available through the Reports page: the Bellevue Japan Fair Haiku Contest and the Australian Haiku Society’s inaugural John Bird Dreaming Award for Haiku.

• Three new additions to the Rengay page: “Stick Figures” with Julie Schwerin, “Heads or Tails” with Gary Hotham, and “Olvera Street” with Oleg Kagan.

• Four links added to the Videos page, featuring another “Haiku Targets” workshop, a presentation on “Lorine Niedecker’s Exchange for Haiku,” a presentation on “The Weather-Beaten Jizō: Shikoku Pilgrimage Haiku by Shūji Niwano,” and a “HaikuLife 2021 Video” celebrating Cor van den Heuvel’s 90th birthday.

• “Finding Our Way” memorial haibun for the late vincent tripi, on the Haibun page.

• Alison Woolpert’s “Shikoku Pilgrimage Meeting Report” from Geppo, summarizing my recent presentation for the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society.

• A new poem (with Chinese translations) added to the NeverEnding Story page, available through the Haiku and Senryu and Commentary pages.

• New updates to the Appearances page, as we finally seem to be starting to have events in person after a long pandemic lockdown.
