Presence

After an absence of five years, I’ve rejoined the Presence team, but under tragic circumstances: to fill the gap created by the very sad passing of Chris Boultwood, who, as well as being a fine haiku poet, took great care of the journal’s website for many years and also very efficiently administered the annual contest which subsequently became the Martin Lucas Haiku Award.

I’ve updated the website with selections from the last four issues, chosen by me (#76), Alison Williams (77), Judy Kendall (78) and Julie Mellor (79), here.

If you’re not a subscriber, it’s well worth becoming one, at still very reasonable prices – details are available here.

    It looks terrific, but as with a few other haiku journals, I’m unable to subscribe because I refuse to create a Paypal account. I don’t mind paying with a bank debit card through Paypal, but I guess that’s challenging to set up?

      It’s a good question, Dave. I don’t have a PayPal account either – I always send a cheque (I’m old-school). I’ll raise it with Ian Storr when I next see him.

    I pay by PayPal and have it set up through my debit card. I’m a real Luddite but don’t recall any problems with setting it up. having said that, I think my subscription lapsed while I was out of action over the last few months. 🙂
