Legal Commentary

a new issue of Frogpond arrives

By David A. Giacalone

Frogpond 31:2 (Spring/Summer 2008) plopped into my mailbox yesterday.  Of course, it’s the first-rate haiku and senryu, and other haikai forms, that make the Haiku Society of America’s journal so special. Because the poems are not available online from Frogpond, I’m going to rush some of those written by our Honored Guest Poets to you right away. Later today, I may add a few editorial comments about this first Frogpond issue edited by our haiku friend and mentor George Swede.

Here are haiku by members of the f/k/a family that were selected for inclusion in Frogpond 31:2 (Spring/Summer 2008); come back tomorrow for senryu and perhaps some haibun or renga:
