Haiku Editor of FreeXpresSion – print magazine published monthly.
Anne Curran is the haiku editor of FreeXpressions. To submit haiku for the journal, please email her at currananne31@gmail.com
FreeXpresSion grew from a need for Creative Writers to showcase their work, keep up to date with what is happening in the Literary world, and to instruct and guide authors and poets of opportunities to get published and provide information about competitions, and etc. It commenced publication in 1993 as a twelve- page monthly print magazine. Circulation was not great, but copies were posted to many countries each month. It grew to thirty-two pages and Host Editors were appointed to look after particular interests. In 2019 a parallel, online version was published to counteract the rising cost of printing and postage. FreeXpresSion is still available in printed form, but the online version is much more versatile. It has a flip-page format and is interactive; if you read an article or poem, there is often an embedded link, which, if clicked on, will take you to a pertinent website, blog or video clip immediately. Peter, the founding editor is in his early nineties and would like to see the management of the magazine pass to a small committee to pursue the aims of FreeXpresSion—Exercise It and Value It. Although the online version is available free of charge, it is possible that the new committee might impose a small charge to cover expenses. FreeXpresSion is always open to suggestions on how it might better serve all writers. Twenty odd years ago Quendryth Young undertook to edit the haiku pages and Cynthia Rowe took over this responsibility in 2010. FreeXpresSion champions Freedom of Expression and will do whatever it can to promote literature and encourage all creative writers, musicians and artists within our guidelines.
