 WELCOME FROM THE
DIRECTOR:
Esta nueva edición de World Haiku Review es un nuevo paso para la consolidacion del haiku escrito en castellano. En ella y gracias al esfuerzo de los
Co-Editores estan representadas aqui la obra de haijin tanto de Ibero America como de España. El haiku escrito en castellano empieza a tener su propio
perfil de acuerdo a los patrones culturales propios de nuestras comunidades, como seguramente los lectores podrán apreciar.
Ademas, lenta pero firmemente, han surgido artistas del haiga, con magnificas producciones, llenas de un espiritu innovador y con gran calidad tecnica
en su layout.
Todo esto nos permite afirmar que el haiku y el haiga proveniente de nuestra comunidad está en un franco proceso de desarrollo e innovacion, con novedosas
y originales contribuciones a la comunidad haiku internacional.
Como ya es habitual World Haiku Club y World Haiku Review, son el escenario natural para promover el pequeño embajador que el haiku se ha convertido como
medio de expresar no solo la diversidad cultural sino la amistad entre naciones. WHCspanish se une con mucho gusto a esta iniciativa
This new edition of World Haiku Review on-line is a new step to consolidate haiku written in Spanish.
Thanks to the efforts of the Co-Editors, the work of haijin from IberoAmerica and Spain are represented here. Haiku written in Spanish begins to have it's
own profile according to the cultural patterns of our community, as the readers will surely find out.
Besides, slowly but firmly, haiga artists have emerged with magnificent
productions, full of innovative spirit and with a great deal of technical quality in the layouts. All of this allows us to assert that
the haiku and haiga that come up from our community are in a true process of development and innovation, with original and new contributions to the
international haiku community.
As usual, World Haiku Club and World Haiku Review are the natural scenarios to foster the tiny ambassador haiku has become, as a way to express not only
cultural diversity but also friendship between nations. WHCspanish gladly joins to this initiative.
