Echidna Tracks will now become an international publication, and we welcome submissions from haiku poets worldwide. We hope to publish a diversity of haiku and senryu.
Gavin Austin and Marilyn Humbert will be the haiku editors for this issue.
We invite your best and previously unpublished haiku/senryu on any topic.
Echidna Tracks nominates haiku for the Touchstone Awards and the annual Red Moon Press anthology, so be sure to send us your best work.
Submissions for Issue 17 will be open during April 2026. Please carefully read the guidelines on the Submissions page, as these have changed. Submissions will be received only via the submissions form.
We plan to commence publication of Issue 17 on 6 July 2026.
Guidelines
Please submit up to five (5) haiku in one submission. Haiku must be your original work, unpublished (in print or online, in forums or blogs, Facebook pages and groups, etc) and not under consideration elsewhere. Please do not submit close versions of work previously published or accepted for publication.
Please include your name and country of residence.
Poets will be notified of acceptances (only) within four weeks of the submission’s closing date. If you have not heard from us by then, you may consider your work available to send elsewhere.
Haiku format: If your haiku contains italics or some unusual formatting, please provide that information in your submission. Haiku will be left-aligned unless there is a good reason for other formatting.
