‘paper wasp’ was founded in 1994 by Jacqui Murray, Ross Clark and the late John Knight to encourage the development of an “Australian” haiku voice.
It succeeded and, with Katherine Samuelowicz as an additional editor, became the longest running hard copy haiku journal in Australia.
Today Australia has many eminent haiku poets whose high standard of writing is known around the world.
Many were first published in ‘paper wasp’.
