haijinx IV:2
northern autumn • equinox • southern spring
submissions closed May 21st
haiku by Buson translated by Mark Brooks
haiga by Kuniharu Shimizu from haijinx II:1
updated November 2011
After prolonged delays with haijinx IV:2 over the summer, the core editorial team of Mark Brooks, Alan Summers, and Carmen Sterba decided that haijinx should change publication schedule from quarterly to semi-annually. As a result, we are not open to submissions now and do not expect to be before the release of the delayed issue. The 2012 publication schedule remains unannounced.
We spent some time finalizing our decisions for this delayed issue and only began contacting authors in October while kris moon, our artist-in-residence, started her magic with our final selections to create a truly unique and fantastic haikai experience. Unfortunately, production was further delayed through November due to medical issues involving the family of haijinx‘s founder, Mark Brooks.
As a result, the delayed IV:2 will be released around the solstice in December. This will most likely be the last issue in the current format as several editors will depart with its release. Thanks for your patience, we hope you enjoy the issue once it is released.
haijinx pnow publishes shortly after the equinoxes each year. The next issue, haijinx IV:2, will be released shortly. The deadline was May 21st.
Our most recent issue, haijinx IV-1, released in March 2011, features over 200 poems from over 50 poets. The main section consists of 25 pages of haiku, 8 of haibun & 4 of haiga. There’s 6 pages of news, three haikai articles, four reviews & a multi-part special on NaHaiWriMo. Art from kris moon throughout. Contributors to that issue included Don Baird, Helen Buckingham, Marjorie Buettner, Ellen Compton, Cherie Hunter Day, Frank Dullaghan, Curtis Dunlap, Lorin Ford, Carolyn Hall, Michele L. Harvey, Jim Kacian, Michael Ketchek, Jacek Margolak, Michael Morell, Peter Newton, Kala Ramesh, Miriam Sagan, Shimi, Kuniharu Shimizu, Michael Dylan Welch, Billie Wilson, Robert D Wilson, & more.

fine print
We acquire first serial rights to unpublished work and secondary rights to previously published work. We also reserve reprint rights.
“first rights” means that we will be the first to publish the poem anywhere. “secondary rights” simply means we will republish a previously published work. We will always credit the original publication. “reprint rights” means that we will be allowed to reprint the work in any form at our discretion. This includes issues of haijinx quarterly, the haijinx web site, future “best of” or “annual” anthologies of haijinx poetry, and other hard copy and electronic publications.
All other rights revert to the author. This means you can reprint the work however you see fit without contacting us. This includes allowing others to reprint it. When reprinting works that first appeared in a haijinx publication, we request that you note that.
By submitting to haijinx, you are agreeing to these terms.
