Presence is seeking haiku, senryu, tanka, renku, haibun and other haiku-related poetry and haiku-related essays. All work should be original, unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere. Please send only one set of submissions per issue, with a maximum of 12 poems in the set. If submitting by postal mail, the poems should be printed on a single sheet - it isn't necessary to use a separate sheet for each haiku. To ensure a reply, please include an s.a.e. and also a US$1 bill or 2 IRCs with all overseas submissions.
For e-mail submissions, include all poems in the body of the text, not as an attachment, and use the subject line: Presence.
Postal submissions of haiku and other poetry, and also books for review should be sent to:
Matthew Paul, 6 Staines Road, Twickenham, Middx. TW2 5AH, UK
E-mail poetry submissions, also essays, best-of-issue replies, and other general correspondence should be sent to:
