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 We invite your best and previously unpublished haiku/senryu on any topic that stirs your imagination. Australia is a society that comprises many environments, cultures, and lifestyles. We welcome diversity in submissions. Please explore our categories for inspiration. If you choose a seasonal reference, it should be compatible with the publication’s Winter/Spring time frame.
Please submit your haiku/senryu on the form available on the submissions page throughout April 2025. Submissions will only be received via the submissions form.
Echidna Tracks: Issue 15 Winter/Spring 2025 will be published on 7 July 2025.
Anyone can submit work, but as this is a website for the collection of Australian haiku, the work we are looking for will come from an authentic experience of living in or visiting Australia. Unfortunately, we cannot consider your submission if we cannot verify an Australian connection. See About Echidna Tracks
