Hearty congratulations to all the poets featured in our Forty first ISSUE!
Here's wishing haikuKATHA goes from strength to strength each month!
ISSUE 42 is now LIVE!!
Earlier in the year, associate editors K. Ramesh, Shobhana Kumar, Madhuri Pillai, Akila G., Reid Hepworth, and Hemapriya Chellappan stepped down for personal reasons. A huge thank you to all six excellent editors. We wish them the very best.

I'm only just getting a chance to sit down with this issue and I am surprised and delighted to see that "beloved children" connected so strongly with the editors. Thank you so much, Suraja, for the lovely and insightful analysis highlighting the tension between cherished pastimes and adult responsibilities. I'm deeply honoured!
I loved the verse chosen for Editor's commentary. It is the story of our lives. Mothers, who struggle to keep their interests and identity intact even when they are actively self effacing it for their family. Relatable. Congratulations to the contributers. Great work by the Triveni Haikai team.
Such a beautiful issue of wonderful writers. Always grateful to be included. Thank you to the team for all your support and hard work.
thank you to everyone concerned, in including "Troubling Times" tanka prose, it is much appreciated
best to all, Dinah
