The World Haiku Anthology on War, Violence and Human Rights Violations will be published in Spring 2013 – with your help! This fabulous anthology (which I am honoured to be a part of) now has a $4,000 crowd-funding campaign underway on Indiegogo to cover the printing costs. Go here to contribute:

A $35 contribution will get you a copy of the book (including shipping). And you will be helping to make a powerful and worldwide statement for peace and against war.
The anthology features 900 poems from 420 poets in 45 countries (on 6 continents!), and spanning 33 languages. This landmark collection has been compiled and edited by the poet Dimitar Anakiev (Kamesan), with illustrations and graphic design by Kuniharu Shimizu.
Be a part of history, and go away with a piece of history! Changing the world one poem at a time.
