Blade i Vinden, som blev færdig til mødet.

Nu foreligger her en udvidet udgave af tillægget. At det er tosproget, gør det muligt at nå den engelsksprogede verden med en bredere repræsentation end der før var tilgængelig af dansk haiku.

Danish Haiku Today 2012
Danish Haiku Today gives a short introduction to Danish authors’ haiku poetry at present in English and Danish.
 
Since Hans-Jørgen Nielsen in 1963 published his haiku anthology, which introduced the Japanese masters, several  Danish authors have written haiku or haiku inspired poems. From Ivan Malinowski to Viggo Madsen.
 
There are several different opinions about what a haiku is in the American-European haiku poetry. The most important is that the haiku poem grasps the moment’s experience in its microcosm and expands the experience.
 
In 2011 the Haiku Group of the Danish Authors’ Society published our 10th anniversary anthology Blade I Vinden (Leaves in the Wind).
 
In May 2012 we had a haiku-arrangement with the haiku poet, EU president Herman Van Rompuy. On that occasion we made a supplement in English and Danish to Blade i Vinden.
