Laura Podeschi, a senior graphic design student, and Tena Myers, a PACE student, were both just published in The Red Moon Anthology of English-language Haiku. This is a wonderful accomplishment because the anthology is published each year based on a rigorous process of editorial nomination and blind peer review.

Each year, eleven editors review all of the current English-language magazines and books published, nominating the very best for inclusion in the Red Moon Anthology. Then the nominated anonymous haiku are sent to all of the editors for final votes. A haiku has to get at least 5 votes to be included in the anthology. So out of 1800 nominated for inclusion, two of 154 published were by our Millikin students, Laura Podeschi and Tena Myers. These haiku were written as part of their Global Haiku Traditions courses at Millikin. Laura's haiku was originally published in Acorn magazine (Philadelphia), and Tena's was published in Raw Nervz magazine (Canada). Now they have been anthologized in the 2005 Red Moon Anthology.

Congratulations to Laura and Tena!

Randy Brooks

winter's ashes
God blooms

soulful breeze
carrying the aqua sky
we start a war
