 Editor’s Note

 

spring celebration -

birds returning to their nests

except for the peace dove

~ Lavana Kray

This haiku by Lavana Kray does more than capture a seasonal moment. It speaks to the poignancy of absence. In its delicate balance of presence and absence, homecoming and exile, this haiku distills the ache of what is missing into a single, unforgettable stroke. Look out for Lavana’s haiku, beautifully transformed into a haiga in the haiga section, and discover the poet’s story behind its creation.
