The Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku 1996 was the first annual compendium of the finest haiku, senryu, haibun, renku, sequences and theoretical articles published in English in the past calendar year. Over 800 nominations by more than 500 different authors have been evaluated by our staff of 11 editors from hundreds of sources from around the world. The resulting 175 works included in this volume are a tribute to the international spirit of this form, and its many variants. It is on this basis that we can declare haiku a poetry of the whole earth.

The Red Moon Anthology series, founded in 1996 by Jim Kacian of Red Moon Press, is the most honored publishing project in the history of English-language haiku. Each year thousands of haiku and related forms (senryu, haibun, renku, sequences, review, criticism and commentary) from around the world are nominated for consideration of being included by the eleven members of the Red Moon Editorial Staff. These nominations are then placed on a roster and considered anonymously by the entire staff, and those works that receive at least 50% of these votes are included in that year's volumea glimpse of red, the fifth volume in this series, honors work from the year 2000. It includes 160 poems, 12 linked forms (haibun, renku and sequence), and 6 critical essays on the reading, writing and appreciation of haiku.

Contemporary

contemporary haibun is a series dedicated to the best haibun and haiga fashioned each year in English from around the world. contemporary haibun 1, originally published in 2001 as stone frog: American Haibun &amp; Haiga, features 50 haibun and 28 haiga, and an introduction by editor-in-chief Jim Kacian. As Jeffrey Woodward, founder and editor of Haibun Today later wrote: “contemporary haibun has stood alone, for more than a decade, as the chief vehicle and bulwark of the burgeoning haibun movement in English. Without the vanguard role of this annual anthology, one might reasonably inquire how — and perhaps if — haibun would have survived.”
