Speaking of Poetry Anthologies…
Our friend, Gabriela Milton, through her poetry lit mag, Literary Revelations, has released a second haiku anthology. The first, released about this time last year, Petals of Haiku, featured over 150 super talented poets… and I was proud to be a part of it, having had 4 haiku included in this best selling anthology that has been read and displayed in the most sacred temple in Japan and is found in libraries all around the world.
Yesterday, Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku, was released. This features 260 of the world's best poets, including Micromance Magazine contributors, Sam Calhoun, Ash Douglas, and, your truly. There may be others, as well. With beautiful cover art by renowned Japanese artist Hikari (who also designed the cover of Petals), Tranquility has already become a best seller in the haiku category on Amazon…
So if you love haiku, appreciate poetry and wish to support another lit mag, and want to read more beautiful poetry from our own beautiful poets, I recommend snagging a copy of this fabulous anthology….
Ash Does It Again…
Aside from news of his upcoming inclusion in Like Naked Taunts and his appearances in the best selling haiku anthologies, Petals of Haiku and Tranquility, Ash has once again been nominated for publication of the month at Spillwords.com for his vividly painted, biographical poem, Doorway To A Rainy Day…
