The Third Australian Haiku Anthology (paperwasp:2011), featuring 70 haiku poets, has been warmly and sensitively reviewed in the Sydney Morning Herald (17-18 December, 2011) - for which we are extremely grateful. This development again reinforces the strength, vitality and maturity of the form in this nation. Significantly, a review in the SMH testifies to the quality of haiku being written in Australia today and places haiku in the mainstream of Australian poetic endeavour. It is a delightful note on which to round out the year and here's wishing everyone a happy and successful 2012.
