Haiku Happenings: #Femku Magazine & Shaping Water

Recently, Shaping Water: Erotic Haiku and Tanka, an anthology of erotic haiku and tanka, was published. It was the brainchild of Lithica Ann (they/them/Mx.), the author of several haiku books including Recycled Virgin. As the editor of this anthology, Lithica Ann selected poems that represented “the depth of sexuality in the human condition, from modest romance to raw, sexual pleasure to asexuality and even self-love.” (from the Introduction)

This pedometer geek writer had two haiku selected for this anthology. I share one of the haiku here:

belladonna…

the sheet sticks

to sweat-slicked bodies

~Nancy Brady

To read all the haiku, purchase a copy of the book at lulu.com

In other haiku news, #FemkuMag, the journal, that Lithica Ann founded and edits, has recently published her thirty-fourth issue. Lithica Ann chose the following haiku for inclusion:

(in)justice
of the peace–
spousal abuse

~Nancy Brady, 2022

To read all the haiku in #FemkuMag, Issue 34, check out https://femkumag.wixsite.com/home/issues and select Issue 34. Back issues can also be viewed.

Thanks, Lithica Ann, for selecting this haiku for inclusion as well as the haiku chosen for the anthology. It is truly appreciated.
