Icebox has just featured a haibun by K. Ramesh, a Chennai poet. We also appreciated Geethanjali Rajan joining us a while back as a contributor to Icebox. Now, India’s largest English haiku site, Triveni Haikai India, under the overall supervision of Kala Ramesh (no relation of K. Ramesh), will be posting a haibun feature on Tito (Stephen Gill), including snippets of a lengthy interview. Each week another haibun or two and a few more snippets of interview will go up. The first one or two are already up there.
Meanwhile, there is a lively comments section for others to make their remarks or rise to the writing challenges thrown at them by the two Haibun Gallery editors this time, Shalini Pattabiraman, with whom Tito judged last years’s San Francisco International Haibun Contest, and Vidya Shankar. If interested to read a few of Tito’s haibun and what he has to say on his own writing journey and the four-line form, haiqua, please check it out any time this month or during the first half of July. Thereafter, it will be archived.
6 June feature, including Dimension Box and A Visit to Ghandrung

Congratulations
Thanks, but I’m unsure if it is really a cause for congratulations or not! For sure, the coverage was very coherently put together by Shalini P., though.
Tito, the haibun about the Chinese chief and the haiku have the wry humour that you have spoken of as qualities of a haibun.
Also, what you say about having the haiku and then writing the prose is interesting. Many writers have said that they write the prose first. But if the narrative of the haiku is to be extended through context, it does seem that the haiku should be written first. And yes, good job by Shalini.
