This is the New Website of World Haiku Review
World Haiku Review has published for thirteen years and 27 issues from a google site but this time, when the site updated to another version, all the formatting was completely lost. We had no control over this and to correct and renew all those pages was too monumental and daunting a task for which this editor had neither the time nor the energy. Perhaps, over time, we will include those issues in the WHR Archives for your reading pleasure.
WHR is therefore beginning anew over here and there are several advantages to this move. You can now leave comments on the pages. You can follow or put in your email to subscribe so that you will automatically recieve new articles and submission calls in your mailbox.
Enjoy this new incarnation of one of haiku’s oldest English language magazines, publishing since 2001.
