True Vine Press Launched

After extensive research; and many broken pencils and chewed erasers, we have started our new project dedicated to publishing anthologies and chapbooks of haiku, senryu & tanka.

See the website for details on our first call for submissions. Of course, we will continue publishing our journal, Wisteria too.

Assistant Editor for Wisteria

I am happy to announce Gary Hotham has joined the Editor Staff for Wisteria.

He will be reading your email submissions and selecting poems for future issues. Below is a bio of Gary:

Gary Hotham has recently gone over the 40 year mark of writing haiku. He goes back to the "dark days" before such magazines as Modern Haiku and the haiku anthologies edited by Cor van den Heuvel. He continues to appear here and there in various magazines. His most recent chapbook, ODOR OF RAIN, appeared in 2004 from Juniper Press and a Modest Proposal chapbook, MISSED APPOINTMENT, from the Lilliput Review Press, should appear later this year or next. He had a big collection of his haiku in BREATH MARKS: Haiku to Read in the Dark (Canon Press) appear in 1999. He is again living & working outside the USA. This time in Germany.
