Blo͞o Outlier Journal issue #3 is a haiku only issue and all about wildlife!
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.
