General Common Room

                    A new feature, a place for sharing

We have a new feature from this issue called “General Common Room”, which is like a literary salon where WHR readers and guests will enjoy comparing notes, sharing the latest (or old) haiku and other works, making comments or presenting ideas etc. in a free, friendly and helpful way. In this issue, the following poets are christening and gracing General Common Room by their presence: Arunansu Banerjee of India with The death of Vincent Van Gogh, Moussia Fantoli of Italy with her latest work, Victor P. Gendrano, USA with a haiku sequence,  Marlene Mountain of USA with her ’18 recent haiku links’, A moving haiku by Marie Shimane’s brother Michael Palagonia, San Diego, California before his death, John W. Sexton of Ireland with his sequences of scifaiku and Anita Virgil of USA with her haiku.
