It’s our birthday.
Can you believe that we are going into our 8th year?
Seven full years and have things changed here at Pea Towers? Well some things have changed, I’m older, but more healthy so bad news and good news there.
I was curious as to how the podcast had changed, I barely remember the early days (post-menopausal brain and the recent bump to the head probably). So today I’m going to revisit a couple of podcasts from the early days.
I need your help with one of the truely dreadful haiku I wrote way back when.
I’m also interested to know what you think has changed… email me!
One thing is changed, we do a lot more and it costs a great deal more to bring you the podcasts. If you’d like to help with the costs, maybe even help me to attend the Haiku North America Conference in 2025, then please think of taking out a membership, which will have benefits for you too.
or buy us a coffee from time to time.
Have you had a look at the latest Journal, 4:24 available as a pdf.
or something new this year, Tendrils, our very first journal dedicated to haibun. You can buy a pdf or hold your very own print version in your hands.

“Why Haiku is different and Basho never wrote them in English,” by Alan Summers. I recommend it as an interesting read.
