EDITOR'S
WELCOME
It is my pleasure
to introduce a wide range of German language-oriented poetry
in this issue of the World Haiku Review. We have
received submissions from members as well as
non-members. I have noticed their remarkable ability to
write and express themselves in English, or to translate
work into English. I have to mention that our
Australian proofreader, Kilmeny Niland, has been an
extraordinary help in our working process.
For this issue, an
editorial team has worked together for the first and,
hopefully, not the last time. I'm very
grateful for the great support of Gabi Greve, Gerd
Börner, Klaus-Dieter Wirth and last but not least, Udo
Wenzel.
We have begun a
series featuring experienced writers of haiku and
related forms written in the German idiom, beginning
with the poetry of Ingrid Kunschke.
We gladly received and included contributions
from non-German-speaking poets too. There are two
important purposes for our selections:
to showcase the most interesting work of established
poets in German, and also to introduce
the developing voices who
are writing haiku in the German idiom around the world.
I hope we will convince
readers of this issue that we have collected diverse and
lively poems, and that it is worth staying tuned for the
upcoming issues of World Haiku Review German.
