stone frog: American Haibun and Haiga (contemporary haibun)

contemporary haibun is a series dedicated to the best haibun and haiga fashioned each year in English from around the world. contemporary haibun 1, originally published in 2001 as stone frog: American Haibun & Haiga, features 50 haibun and 28 haiga, and an introduction by editor-in-chief Jim Kacian. As Jeffrey Woodward, founder and editor of Haibun Today later wrote: “contemporary haibun has stood alone, for more than a decade, as the chief vehicle and bulwark of the burgeoning haibun movement in English. Without the vanguard role of this annual anthology, one might reasonably inquire how — and perhaps if — haibun would have survived.”
