A magazine of long duration that is devoted to traditional haiku. Too many clunkingly old contrasts for me (e.g., spring vs. mortality), but I liked George Swede's "spring moon/ under the alley tomcat's fierce eyes/ a nametag glows" and a few others, and this issue also has some excellent articles on the haiku, and--as always--many informative reviews that cover haiku of all schools, even LeRoy ("onde omb elleelle") Gorman's.--Bob Grumman
