Many thanks to guest editor Deborah Karl-Brandt for including my verse in Haiku Dialogue with this week's theme on the process of writing (in my case, of constant erasure of what was written, ha). Congratulations to everyone else who appears, check them out! thehaikufoundation.org/haiku-dialog...

🧵 Writing Gendai Senryu in English? Gendai (modern) Senryu isn’t just "haiku without nature." It’s a distinct art form focused on human nature, irony, and the raw edges of daily life. No 5-7-5 required. No seasonal words needed. Just truth, brevity, and a twist.
