To Hear the Ocean
by Rebecca Drouilhet
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
—From Sea Fever by John Masefield, 1902
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
—From Sea Fever by John Masefield, 1902
Years pass, but the glass on the water is not a secret. The Sixth Extinction is not an illusion. Creatures on this planet are vanishing at one thousand to ten thousand times the rate of natural loss. This week, a Mississippi Coast native called for action to protect seabirds during Audubon's Seabird Fly-In, an event where staff and members met with members of Congress to advocate for coastal conservation. Audubon had recently issued a report stating that, since the 1950's, the planet has lost 70% of its shore birds. The causes cited included pollution, climate change, invasive species and loss of food. Humans compete with sea birds for prey such as sardines, or discard the birds' food sources as unwanted by-catch. Around the world, species are disappearing so fast that food chains are collapsing.

Welcome
Welcome to Plum Tree Tavern's 2023 Winter Haiku Issue. Within find works by the 65 writers and photographers selected for the issue.
The issue is built around several sections or chapters. An individual's work may be posted in one or more sections of the issue. The editor naturally hopes that everyone reads the complete issue. But to quickly locate in which section(s) your work is placed, click on your name in the Contributors category in the right hand column of the issue. The sections in which your work appears will generate on the left hand side of the page.
A special set of haiku by Marco Fraticelli serves as a centerpiece to the edition.
And there’s more.
Click on the blue chrysanthemum flag in the right- hand column and a page will open to Japanese Haiku, Volume I of the Peter Pauper Press editions of Peter Beilenson's English workings of haiku by classical Japanese poets.
Click on the red chrysanthemum flag in the right-hand column and a page will open to the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, a classic Japanese anthology consisting of 100 waka (better known today as tanka) by 100 poets.
Works linked under the above flags are in the public domain.
Click on the white chrysanthemum flag and a page will open to Monkey's Raincoat, a compilation of linked poems written by Basho and his followers in 1690. The work is published in PDF format by The Haiku Foundation Digital Library.
Click on the turquoise chrysanthemum flag and a page will open to the Kokinwakashū, an anthology of 1,100 tanka and other works collected in the early tenth century.
Click on the image of pilgrims crossing a bridge in the right-hand column and a page will open to a gallery of 17 Japanese woodblock prints of winter scenes by Ando Hiroshige.
The image of travelers at a dock will open to a second gallery of winter images by other woodblock artists.
These series of images are selected from a collection maintained by the Library of Congress and are in the public domain.
The right-hand column also contains an extensive list of books covering the centuries of haiku from its origins to the present day under the title A Haiku Library.
The book Chiyo-ni: Woman Haiku Master by Patricia Donegan and Yoshie Ishibashi belongs on this list, but it is rare and out-of-print. Used copies recently range in price from $150 to $500. A Thousand Years: The Haiku and Love Letters of Chiyo-ni by Marco Fraticelli belongs on the list, too, but it is also rare. Separate links open to interpretations of Chiyo-ni's work by these and other authors. Notable books of classic Japanese fiction and poetry collections are listed under the title A Bookshelf of Japanese Tales and Verse.
Book titles are linked to Amazon purchase listings. Plum Tree derives no compensation for items bought through these links, and the volumes may be available elsewhere than at Amazon.
Links to The Haiku Foundation and the Haiku and Tanka Societies of America follow the reading lists.
Content in the right-hand column concludes with gates to other Plum Tree issues, including one to Plum Tree's Haiku 2016 to 2020 Edition.
The greatest of thanks to the contributors who made this issue possible. Take a stroll beneath the cold moon from the dollar stores to the fields. Enjoy recklessly.

In Memory of Patricia Donegan
Patricia Donegan (1945 – 2023) was a poet, translator, professor of creative writing, and an advocate of haiku as an awareness practice.
She served on the faculty of East-West poetics at Naropa University under Allen Ginsberg and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, was a student of haiku master Seishi Yamaguchi, and a Fulbright scholar to Japan. She was a meditation teacher, previous poetry editor for Kyoto Journal, and a longtime member of the Haiku Society of America.
Donegan won first prize in the 1998 Mainichi International Haiku Contest and won a Merit Book Award for translation from the Haiku Society of America for her book on Chiyo-ni, also in 1998. Her books on haiku have combined scholarship and insight in reaching young and old to inspire and sustain a lifelong interest in haiku poetry, in both Japanese and English.
Her haiku works include Love Haiku: Japanese Poems of Yearning, Passion & Remembrance (translated with Yoshie Ishibashi), Haiku Mind: 108 Poems to Cultivate Awareness and Open Your Heart, Haiku: Asian Arts for Creative Kids, and Chiyo-ni Woman Haiku Master (translated with Yoshie Ishibashi).
Her poetry collections include: Hot Haiku, Bone Poems, Without Warning, Heralding the Milk Light, and haiku selections in various anthologies.
