bashō

This section showcases one single haiku submitted by its author to represent their haiku writing at their personal best. 

The "personal best" will be their self-penned haiku that the submitting author personally decides best represents their haiku path, their haiku mastery and their guiding haiku aesthetic. It is realised that their approach to how they write haiku will change as they mature their art and skills and thus we open the invitation again year after year to reflect their changing perspective.

All submissions of "personal best haiku" are to be accompanied by the author's own commentary / critique / analysis of the chosen haiku explaining what makes it stand out for them at this time as their personal best achievement as a writer of haiku.

If previously published, the submitted haiku must include the first publication citation together with the URL address of the publication.

Please submit 1 haiku in the body of an email to the editor with "UtB Submission - Personal Best" for the email subject.
