This issue of World Haiku Review is special. It marks ten years and a solid twenty five issues of the magazine since we revived it in 2008.

Despite all of us having busy schedules we have been able to put out two or even three issues a year.

This is the Tenth Anniversary Issue. Do take a look.

Most magazines don’t last that long. We have survived and to celebrate we are doing ebooks and maybe a weekend meet later in the year. It has been a long journey and. I hope, will continue for a long time to come.

A very big thank you to all of you who have been part of it, readers and poets.

between sips of cutting chai

The second anthology is up, between sips of cutting chai, a delightful collection of poetry – haiku, haibun, senryu and renku. One more anthology from the ever active IN haiku Mumbai group.

It is available as an ebook on Amazon. The links are here.

If you thought poetry was boring take a look at this one. There is a section of haiku on trains, Mumbai’s local lifeline. Trianku. And another section on Mumbai’s cherished pick me up – cutting chai. This is chai so strong it is cut in half and only half a glass is served yet that is more than enough. Do read the chaiku.

We had fun putting it together, working long hours in coffee shops, braving the lashing Mumbai monsoon to put out a Diwali issue. So, here it is for your reading pleasure.

The second anthology generated a lot of interest and we got submissions from all over the world. There will be a third, so if you missed this one, do submit for the third one, next year. We read and discuss every single entry and take a group decision. As usual all submission periods will be up on this blog as soon as we open.

If you like this one check out our first anthology, the taste of sea breeze, which was published in 2016. Click on the picture for Amazon.in.

whiskers and purrs – a book of cat haiku – which I published a few days ago is doing very well at the moment.

Its at the top of the haiku list on Amazon.in.

A very big thank you to all the wonderful people who bought it.
