About

confluence is a Japanese short-form journal centered on innovation and community. Our mission is to make a significant and lasting contribution to haiku, tanka, and related literary forms by:
Publishing outstanding work that stretches the possibilities of the forms,
Providing a venue for emerging poets to showcase a representative sample of their work and receive readership and recognition,
Creating a vital, global community of poet Fellows, that collaborate together and engage deeply with one another’s work, and
Introducing Japanese short-form poetry as a vibrant literary form to new readers and writers, outside the current niche of haiku and tanka poets.
