On behalf of Haiku Oz I would like to congratulate Lorin Ford, Jo McInerney & Quendryth Young for their recent commendation in the Heron’s Nest Readers Awards.
It is always wonderful to see Australian names in the awards lists!
held at Torakina Park, Brunswick Heads
on Thursday 4 February 2010
How fortunate we were to number among our participants at the summer ginko two of Australia’s leading haiku poets. Janice Bostok and John Bird took their places along with eleven others at the venue where it all started, as we headed into our fifth year. We have a special affection for this glorious spot at the mouth of the Brunswick River, and, in spite of having visited the site together eight times previously, the haiku were fresh and innovative. On one occasion John picked up on a haiku written by Leonie Bingham, saw its potential to be converted to a tanka, and threw it to Janice, who did this immediately and with aplomb. We lunched together afterwards at our favourite beachside cafe, and the good times went on and on. And they continue still, as we exchange our re-worked haiku in the current Round Robin. The autumn ginko is to be held in a rainforest in April. All haiku poets are welcome. Contact Quendryth Young at quendrythyoung@bigpond.com
