Haiga selected for the Echidna Tracks Haiga Collection

Congratulations to everyone who submitted haiga for the Echidna Tracks collection. We were encouraged by the number of submissions ‒ 43 in all, from 26 entrants. There were a few collaborations, but most of the haiga were from a single artist. The most popular form was the shahai, or a haiku embedded in a photo. There were also a number of skilled traditional entries, using either hand drawn or digitally drawn images. We have picked the best entries from each of these three categories, plus one highly commended shahai.

Echidna Tracks Haiga Publication

Echidna Tracks plans to publish a small collection of haiga by artists/poets living in Australia and Australians now living abroad. We hope to continue with further small collections of haiga. This is a trial venture. Collaborations between an artist and poet will also be welcome.

In a haiga the poem and image should not literally describe each other, but rather, their juxtaposition should link and shift in new directions to enhance meaning and resonance for the reader. Poem and image should neither be too far from each other, nor too close. These new directions can include reference to any of our senses and feelings that may deepen the impression of the poem.  The haiku should able to stand alone, but should both imply and obtain additional meaning and/or insight when embedded within the image.

Haiga Submissions

A call for submissions of haiga will be posted on 1 October 2024. Marietta McGregor and Julia Wakefield will be the editors for this collection.
