Modern Haiku

Modern Haiku is the oldest and most respected journal of haiku and haiku studies outside Japan. It was founded by Kay Titus Mormino, who edited the magazine from 1969 until 1977. Modern Haiku publishes haiku, senryu, haibun, essays, translations, and book reviews. Robert Spiess served as editor and publisher from 1978 until his death in 2002. It continues today, edited by Lee Gurga, as the longest continuous English-language haiku magazine, appearing three times a year with approximately 96 to 128 pages.

Modern Haiku should be noted as the most thorough source of book reviews among English-language haiku journals. It continues today, with Lee Gurga serving as the editor.
