This page was updated:

The practice of combining haiku poems with paintings, called haiga, is blossoming into a multiform art of graphic poetry. You should expect to find mainly haiku poetry at haiga websites, but tanka is making its way into the artistic mainstream as well.


GRAPHIC POETRY WEBSITES

Modern Haiga has a board of editors and has year-around open submissions. It publishes graphic poetry in an online annual collection, from which an annual print edition (a full-color perfect bound book) is selected. 2008 is the inaugural issue.
