Joy Kogawa Haiku for the first-ever Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival – coming in the spring

Joy Kogawa made the New Year's Eve Vancouver Sun edition on both page E3 and E13.

Linda Poole invites haiku submissions for the first-ever Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival which will occur in March 2006.

Here is Joy Kogawa's haiku submission

Submission deadline is January 31st for the Haiku Invitational event. 

Hopefully we will also be able to celebrate in March with a possible announcement that Kogawa House has been saved.
