Only Human is a new journal of English-language senryu that explores what it means to be human. Submissions open February 1, and our inaugural issue will be released in April. In the meantime, visit our website to check out our guidelines and meet the editors at www.onlyhumansenryu.com.

Happy to find myself on this list for 2025 - thanks to Krzysztof Kokot, who compiles it. Also, I’m grateful to all the editors who either published something of mine last year or who didn’t publish but still took the time to read my submissions. #haiku haikueurotop.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-...

Thrilled to be part of issue 6 of folk ku journal, dedicated this time to trees. Many thanks to editor Jodie Hawthorne for choosing these two of mine. #haiku #folkku kingriverpress.com/wp-content/u...
