As well as haiku, haiga, haibun, renku, tanka and our Expositions section, AHG 2:1 includes a feature by Sandra Simpson on the Haiku Festival Aotearoa, 2012, which was held in Tauranga, New Zealand.

We begin our second year of publishing a wide range of haiku and related poetry with special thanks to Jim Sullivan, AHG’s new webmaster, and to Ray Rasmussen, who was willing to teach Jim the mysteries of web work and will continue in his role of consultant.

Many thanks, too, to Ron Moss for his willingness to be the guest editor for this issue’s haiga section. Aubrie Cox is now on team as haiga editor and welcomes your haiga submissions for the March issue onwards.

Please check the AHG submissions page for all of the editors’ guidelines and email addresses.
