Echidna Tracks has now become an international publication, and we welcome submissions from haiku poets worldwide. We hope to publish a diversity of haiku and senryu.
Jennifer Sutherland and Julia Wakefield 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We invite your best and previously unpublished haiku/senryu on any topic.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 please send us your best work.
Submissions for Issue 18 have now closed. Please read the guidelines on the Submissions page carefully, as they have changed. We will accept submissions only through the submissions form.
We plan to publish Issue 18 in early January 2027. The next submission period will be in April 2027.
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 Haiku must be your original work, unpublished (in print or online, in forums or blogs, Facebook pages and groups, etc.)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.
We will notify poets of acceptances (only) within four weeks of the submission 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 other unusual formatting, please note it in your submission. We will leave the haiku left-aligned unless there is a good reason for other formatting.
