Self-publishing a collection of Sunku. Neopoets, anyone interested?

Submitted by IRiz on Mon, 2018-10-29 16:04

My dearest friends, poets!
I tried to make the Frogpond: Journal of the Haiku Society of America interested in Sunku, but received an understandable reply that they are not interested in new forms.

I think to self-publish a collection of Sunku.
I have a lot of photographs I can provide as illustrations.
Is anybody interested to participate in this publication? We can place it on Amazon and direct any potential profits towards Neopoet.
I am looking for contributions as poems, photographs, editing, and commenting.

tad disappointed to know that in an era of innovation Frog Pond is not interested in new forms....

for me I like it because like any concise form it offers great challenge / stimulation....

if at all you find any of the Sunkus posted by me worthy of publication feel free to use it/them without any financial obligation...if not still no issues...my best wishes always for your endeavor...a good initiative of Chairman AC

You said "I have a lot of photographs I can provide as illustrations"...could you elaborate on what exactly you mean by that? would they be pictures/sketches serving as "prompts"?

I have photographs and some sketches to share but having an image prompt sounds very well!
It might not be easy to do.

I love a lot of your Sunku, we should use them for sure!

I know you will find a way to use those images as prompts...there used to be image prompts on poetry.com for Haiku of the day...but that was many years ago...i don't know if it is still practiced...

feel free to use the Sunkus which you feel are worthy to go in the publication....it would be a privilege...more so since it's for a good cause by using the sale proceeds for Neopoet funds..

You can use any of my pieces I submitted to your workshop on Sunku, if you need more then just let me know I will write some more.
I have a great deal of things to do at the moment, but will find the time to help in any way,
Yours as always, Ian xx
