Visual Poetry

This section  was opened in October, 2003, and it continues to grow.  Most  images on these pages are haiga. A few will simply be graphics.  Guest works are included on this first page. 

Haiga is the name for traditional Japanese art forms composed of brush painting and calligraphy of haiku poetry. Modern Haiga is also done on graphics, paintings or photographs.  Click on the thumbnail to enlarge. All images are copyrighted. Do not copy them. If you have special interest in an image contact the artist or contact me. If the artist has a website , contact information will be there. My email address is on my home page. Page three is for non-haiga graphics and photographs. 

My haiga have been published in Simply Haiku (four of the publications are HERE , HERE  HERE ,and HERE) in Haigaonline, (HERE  HERE   HERE and HERE with more in other issue of the journal), Sketchbook (HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE ,HERE  HERE ) and a page with one free verse poem and links to my haiga in the issue HERE,  Recent Collaborations in One Hundred Gourds, with Geoff Sanderson (fall 2011) are HERE. Other haiga are in Moonset ,(a print publication now, unfortunately no longer publishing) and several free-verse poetry journals such as La Luciole, Mind Fire,, Erosha (now has been hacked and unavailable) and The Oregon Liberary Review...pages Images are added as I write them, so newest haiga/graphics are on the last pages.

Since I've published approximately 350 haiga as of December 2010, the above links are just samples. I've tried to include the name of the journal publication throughout my pages, but have possibly missed some. My deepest apologies to the journal if I've done so.
