Hope these words find Karen and you well. As Dylan said, “The times are a changin”. Let’s see, the climate, Covid, its variants, Putin, its variant war crimes, WWIII, its variant fears hanging in the air, the spores of our discontent, oh yeah, not to forget the aliens fiddling with the switches to the underground ICBMs…What the hell… and a hand basket. “The times are a changin”!
Both of you, be safe and if there is a summer, looking with hope to the next issue of Blo͞o Outlier Journal!
Hi, Alan. I just saw Marcie Rinka Wessels' Instagram post with her Blo͞o #3 poem, but I don't see the issue anywhere here on https://bloooutlierjournal.blogspot.com/. Forthcoming this week?
Disregard my previous comment. I just saw your Instagram post including https://haikubasecamp.wordpress.com/2022/08/29/blo%CD%9Eo-outlier-journal-issue-3/
Blo͞o Outlier Journal issue #3 is the nature special issue! Dedicated to H. Gene Murtha (19 October 1955 – 9 October 2015) Blo͞o Outlier Journal issue #3 is looking for: wilderness haiku: from birds and clouds to animals and insects, moss, lichen, rivers, streams, the wind and the rocks, the woods and the forest, nature in unexpected places: to those pockets even in human habitations (towns & cities) where ‘the other nature’ has stayed free, or adapted into a kind of safe or safer symbiosis. What is natural history haiku? I’ve been asked this a few times regarding the Autumn 2021 issue of Blo͞o Outlier Journal. It could be said they are powerful nature poems, and raw nature poems. It’s capturing nature or rather when nature captures us and we merge. Traditionally haiku are rooted in natural history and the seasons, and make us conspirators with wildlife, as nature half-writes the haiku before we've even put pen to paper. EXAMPLES on my FB page: https://www.f...
