Preditors & Editors, haiku

The Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll is now officially open. If you want to nominate anyone for any of the categories (or vote for someone who is already nominated, or nominate yourself) now is the time to do it. All voting must be done by January 14th.

There is plenty of good haiku around the Internet these days. Mann Library is featuring Tom Clausen for the month of January, and Daily Haiku has poems from Joanne Morcom this week. Joshua Gage has a few zombie haiku up over at Tales of World War Z. And the new issue of Prune Juice (#3) just went live. (Prune Juice is open to submissions through May 1st.)

Preditors & Editors, a haiku anthology

Voting is open for the Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll, for work published in 2008. For anyone who hasn't voted in it before, the rules are simple: everyone gets one vote in each category, and if you think something should be nominated that isn't (including your own work), you can nominate it yourself. Let your voice be heard, and support those authors, poets, and publications that you feel deserve recognition. Voting closes on January 14th.

Bottle Rockets Press is now reading submissions for an anthology of flower-themed haiku. There is no payment, and submissions are open through August 1st. Submit up to 20 haiku (5 to a page) by snail mail. Previously published poems OK.

In other news, the deadline for the Special Sam's Dot Drabble Contest has been extended one month to January 31st, and Dark Discoveries plans to reopen to subs sometime in the spring.
