Announcing 'The Renku Journal'
Following on the success of The Renku Group (http://renkugroup.proboards.com) and the resultant growth of interest in this centuries-old poetic genre, we are pleased to announce our intention to publish The Renku Journal.
This exciting new journal will be devoted to all aspects of renku. It will be published and edited by Norman Darlington and Moira Richards, and will launch during 2010. It will include scholarly articles, poems, discussions, contests, critiques and more.
We plan to source a mix of content that will be of interest to Asian Studies scholars as well as to professors and students of English literature/poetry; we hope the content will also be of interest to poets experimenting with the writing of renku in a number of languages around the world today, including Japan, and to practitioners exploring aspects of renku and its 'za' as an educational/social/ therapeutic tool.
Send an email to therenkujournal@gmail.com (therenkujournal AT gmail.com) to sign up for notices of our progress reports, calls for content, and other news about The Renku Journal.
