Submissions for Echidna Tracks Issue 13 close at the end of April 2024. We welcome your best haiku. Surprise us and delight us! Let us make this a brilliant Issue of Echidna Tracks!
The format of Echidna Tracks will change to a weekly post of a group of haiku instead of a daily post.
Simon Hanson and Gavin Austin will be the haiku editors for this issue. We invite your best and previously unpublished haiku/senryu on any topic that stirs your imagination. 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 2024. Submissions will only be received via the submissions form. Submissions have now closed for Echidna Tracks Issue 13.
Echidna Tracks Issue 13 will be published on 1 July.
Anyone can submit work relevant to Australia – 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 when we cannot verify an Australian connection. See About Echidna Tracks
