Hi to all haiku readers and/or writers,

History of With Words Haiku Journal.
It all started when an earlier version called the Haiku Fieldbook was designed specifically for, and launched at the first Bristol Festival of Nature, in 2004, the U.K.'s largest celebration of natural history.
I was haiku poet-in-residence for this festival over a six week period giving haiku writing walks in woodlands, and zoos etc... as well as workshops and haiku writing walks for schools.
The Haiku Fieldbook evolved into the Haiku Journal notebook which was officially launched at the Royal Festival Hall in London (part of Thames Festival and Japan-UK 150 celebrations).
As Japan-UK 150 haiku & renga poet-in-residence I have given workshops and walks up and down the country.

Two hour Haiku Journal workshops for all kinds of writers, including non-fiction, are also offered nationally.
The very first happened with the fantastic organisation Creative Writing Bath: How to Keep a Haiku Journal. We hope to repeat this particular workshop later this year.

Phase One of the 1000 Verse Renga Project concluded
.
Phew, what an incredible success the first stage of the 1000 Verse Renga has been!
The project received triple the number of renga verses we asked for!
We're collating all the verses ranging from libraries in at least two counties; txt from two cellphones; six different email addresses; and various other means.
A 1000 Verse Renga aka Super Renga film is in the editing process, as well as a free renga ebook available to everyone.
A big thank you to everyone who got involved locally and globally!
What's next? Here's some clues from my partner in renga June Wentland, Reader Development Officer, B&NES/Bath Libraries:
