About DailyHaiku

DailyHaiku exists to promote and preserve the gentle written art of haiku. It serves as “a daily shot of zen”, a small island of simplicity and calm within the frantic pace of modern life. One haiku is published per day on http://www.dailyhaiku.org (ISSN 1913-3936), and we publish one collected print edition per year (ISSN 1913-3928). DailyHaiku publishes the work of Canadian and international haiku poets, blending contemporary and traditional style to push the boundaries of modern haiku. For more information, please visit DailyHaiku.

Submissions to DailyHaiku

DailyHaiku features the work of six authors presented over a six month time frame. Each week, the work of a different author from the current contributing team is featured on this site. The contributing team at DailyHaiku changes twice per year—once in April and once in October. We accept submissions between March 1 and 31, and September 1 and 30 ONLY. Submissions received at any other time will not be accepted.

All submitted and contributed work will be also put into consideration for our yearly print journal. Published once a year, the print journal features the work of the previous two contributor teams. One exemplary week of contributed haiku each year will also be awarded the DailyHaiku Editors' Choice Award and featured prominently in the print edition. No submissions are paid, but contributors will receive one contributor's copy of the yearly print journal featuring their work.
