tsuri-doro a small journal of haiku and senryu

About

tsuri-dōrō seeks a non-egoist and non-affected approach to the forms of haiku, senryū and related. tsuri-dōrō hopes to share and celebrate the moments present in the everyday and the sublime – be that in the cool of the deep woods or the heat of city streets in August – that we often overlook.
tsuri-dōrō hopes to find itself in the quiet spirit of Hal Roth’s “wind chimes”, yet sometimes in the edgy tension of Dorothy Howard’s “Raw NerVZ Haiku”. Satisfying to the intellect and pleasing to eye and ear, yet not shrinking from the uncomfortable – this is tsuri-dōrō.
tsuri-dōrō will welcome non-published English-language work from accomplished as well as novice writers. We hope to honor the memory and tradition of Lorraine Ellis Harr – Tombō – who, in the pages of her “Dragonfly”, helped start many haiku poets on their haiku journey – through her generosity and willingness to nurture new talent.
