poštovani članovi Hrvatskog književnog društva i ljubitelji
pisane riječi pozivamo vas na
Predstavljanje: 'Fantastična bića Istre i Kvarnera'
-
VODITELJ PROGRAMA DOPREDSJEDNIK HRVATSKOG KNJIŽEVNOG DRUŠTVA ERNIE GIGANTE DEŠKOVIĆ
30. siječnja 2009. u knjižari Ribook održat će se predstavljanje knjige 'Fantastična bića Istre i Kvarnera'.
Autori Boris Perić i Tomislav Pletenac predstavit će svoj zajednički projekt Fantastična bića Istre i Kvarnera koji se bavi pučkom maštovitošću. Bajkoviti predjeli Istre i Primorja iznjedrili su mnoštvo maglovitih demona i široku paletu jezovitih prikaza koji obitavaju na granici fikcije i zbilje, gdje vrebaju zalutale putnike i noćne namjernike. Usudite se provjeriti kako mori mora, na koga reže psoglavci, što se krije u mraku Pazinske jame i tko je najpoznatiji istarski vampir...
srdačan pozdrav

Dear Haiku Friends,
I am terribly sorry, but we just made the surprising discovery that the email address we were planning to use (and already published) for submissions to the ukiaHaiku festival this year was already in use!
So, we have changed it to: ukiahaikufest09@yahoo.com. I also sent erroneous information about the fee schedule. There is only one fee: $5 for up to 3 haiku.
I know you've already received several emails from me about the ukiaHaiku festival, but I PROMISE this will be the last for the 2009 festival. PLEASE pass this information on to your email contacts and change the email address in your on-line or in-print listings if possible.
Below you will find the complete (and correct) listing information, in case you still need it, and below that is an attachment with the corrected version of A Tale of a Festival.
THANK YOU!
Looking forward to your submissions,
Kate Marianchild

A Tale of a Festival
Once upon a time there was a lovely little town known as Ukiah. The name came from the Pomo word “Yokayo,” meaning “ Deep Valley .” The town dozed and twitched for 100 years by the Russian River , sprouting pears and walnuts, grapes and babies. Artists and poets trickled into the community, attracted by the green-gold hills, the big sky, and the friendly people.
In due time a government came into being, complete with city council. The good councillors sponsored community fairs, fireworks, and concerts. The citizens were happy and didn’t expect much more of their elected officials.
Then one day a new idea sprang forth – an idea never proposed before to any town government anywhere in North America…or even the western hemisphere. The city mothers and fathers murmured among themselves, scratched their collective head, and finally, being an intrepid bunch, decided to sponsor an…Astrology Fair? (nope)... UFO Expo? (noooo)... Give up?...A Haiku Festival! Why? Because “Ukiah” backward spells “Haiku,” silly!
Aahh, haiku…I’m glad you asked what that is. Haiku is a wondrous creation of the Japanese – a form of poetry that, when you try to write it, infuses everything in your life, including you, with an inner glow. Dew will shine more brilliantly, bees will hum more tranquilly, and chores will be more fun. Sound like new love? Well, it is, kind of. When you look at the world with “haiku eyes” you fall in love with it all over again, just like when you were a child. It doesn’t matter how your poems turn out – the magic is in the way you look at things.
So, again, what is, or are, haiku? (The word can be singular or plural). Haiku are simple, 3-line poems. They usually don't use rhyme, alliteration, or punctuation, and they don’t philosophize or “psychologize.” They offer a poetic glimpse of a scene or a situation – a snapshot created with words.
hovering above
silver but always changing
snow piles in the sky
by Vincent K. Brock of Ukiah
sitting all alone
on a sidewalk full of sun
a small grey pebble
by Brianna Mack of Ukiah
Haiku can use a “traditional” 5-7-5 pattern of syllables, such as the ones above, in which the first line has 5 syllables, the second 7, and the third 5; or they can be written in the “contemporary” form, with fewer syllables. Here are some contemporary haiku:
late fall fig tree
naked except for
one big leaf
by Kayla Wildman of Potter Valley
just past mauve –
paddling hard
for a dark shore
by Jim Kacian of Virginia
Either way works, and both forms will be accepted in most categories of the ukiaHaiku festival’s poetry contest this year, except in those categories that specify “contemporary” or “traditional.” (For more information on traditional vs. contemporary haiku, go to www.ukiahaiku.org and click on “Submission Guidelines” at the bottom of the home page).
The ukiaHaiku festival was born in the year 2003, and like all infants, it has grown. Now in its seventh year, the festival is thriving. Local poets go to classrooms and instruct students in writing haiku. Nearly 1,500 poems pour in each year from children and adults living in Ukiah and distant places like South Dakota , Romania , and New Zealand . Poetry submissions are judged by the Ukiah Poet Laureate Committee and well-known haiku poet Jane Reichhold, who judges the Adult Contemporary Haiku category. An awards ceremony is held at which the winning poets read their poems, and a book of the winning poems is published. Best of all? People who never wrote poems before are turning their observations of the world into poetry.
You are invited, encouraged, and cajoled to submit entries to the ukiaHaiku festival. All categories are free of charge except “Adult Contemporary Haiku,” which costs $5 for up to three poems. Modest prizes are offered, along with publication in the book and the opportunity to read your winning haiku at the festival. Prizes are very modest in all categories except "Contemporary Haiku - Adult," for which prizes of $100, $50, and $25 are offered this year for the first time. All winning poems will also be published in a book. The submission deadline for the 2009 ukiaHaiku festival contest is Friday, March 13, 2009.
Submission forms can be downloaded from www.ukiahaiku.org or picked up at libraries around Mendocino County , as well as the Bookmobile and Grace Hudson Museum. Submissions can also be emailed to ukiahaikufest09@yahoo.com. (For the Adult Contemporary category a check for $5 will have to be mailed – see website). This year’s awards ceremony, complete with music and award-winning poetry, will be held on Sunday, April 26 from 2-4 p.m. at the Ukiah Conference Center.
A Tale of a Festival was written by Kate Marianchild, Coordinator and Publicist for ukiaHaiku festival.

Tadaje povodom nagrade bio pozvan te je boravio u Japanu, o čemu je uvijekpričao kao o nezaboravnom doživljaju. Japanci su ga tada neslužbenonazvali našim Santokom.Mislim da ne moram posebno pisati o tome tko je Darko i što je sve učinio.Svakako, ovo su tužni dani za hrvatski haiku, a još više za nas koji smonjegovi prijatelji kao i za sve koji su
