Welcome to the Presence website.
Presence is a haiku magazine, specialising in publishing high quality haiku, senryu, tanka, renga/renku and related poetry. It appears 3 times per year. Each issue is typically 52-60 pages, A5, and contains original artwork, haibun (haiku prose), articles on haiku practice, news of haiku events and book reviews in addition to the poetry. We welcome submissions from experienced and novice haiku writers alike.
Our writers’ organisation, Haiku Presence, also promotes the Haiku Presence touring art exhibition, which displays excellent examples of haiku in English with accompanying visual images by Helen Robinson.
