…a bit late but still good for January. My own broadsiding is as virtual as their presses…but I encourage any one who can and will to go out and do…post poems por todas partes. 

Broadsided: Hot off the Virtual Presses

Happy New Year! It's the Broadsided Haiku Year-in-Review Dear Vectors and Friends of Broadsided,  Happy New Year! We're so thrilled to be entering our eighth full year of publication. We've got some tricks up our sleeves, and a recent discussion with Vectors has inspired some deep thought about how we will proceed in the future.

We wanted to examine 2012 in the spirit of the Carrier's Address, an early-American newspaper tradition, and to harness the seasonal and imagistic power of the haiku.  Visitors decided which poems are published here by voting on poem/art combos posted on the website. Thank you for being part of this annual, odd tradition! Collaborators' Q&A: Most big moments, both mourned and celebrated, have to do with transitions. In this case, all four art/haiku topics reflect a transition from one state to another. Whether we're talking about a species or a political movement, the economy or the environment, the conversation is about our role in these changes and whether we are engaging with compassion and accountability. ...
