Central
Valley Haiku Club
With
spring in the air, the most recent meeting of the Central Valley Haiku Club was
held on Saturday, March 1st ,
at the Eastern Empire Bar and Grill on Howe Ave. in Sacramento, CA. Attending were Mark Hollingsworth and his
wife Nancy, Yvonne Cabalona and husband, Ricardo de Bernardi, Lynne Sperry,
Bill Owen and Leslie Rose.
After a
delicious meal of Asian delicacies, a time when we brought everyone up to
date on our lives, we celebrated the completion of yet another Jerry Kilbride
English Language Haibun contest. The
winners, Michael Dylan Welch, 1st place for his haibun “Punctum”,
Renee Owens, 2nd place for her haibun “Brennan’s Barkeep”, and our
Honorable Mention winner, Seren Fargo, for her piece “Shedding Old Bonds”, have
all been notified and congratulated.
In
February we opened for submissions to the 2014 Jerry Kilbride Haibun contest. Guidelines and submissions are posted on the
CVHC website, and may be sent to Yvonne Cabalona , 709 Auburn St., Modesto, CA
95350-6079.
We
discussed the possibility of publishing another Club Chapbook. We could not come to a consensus on that
undertaking but decided, instead, that we might try writing a group book
on-line, using Tapestry.com . All agreed to experiment on that App before
our next meeting.
Before
our meeting’s close we celebrated Yvonne’s birthday, as well as the following
publications of our work:
-Yvonne
Cabalona has 3 poems and a haibun appearing in Bottle Rockets #30
-Leslie
Rose has a poem appearing in the latest Red
Moon Anthology
-Bill
Owen (w f owen) has work appearing on the Haiku
Foundation website
-Mark
Hollingsworth has work that Epstein has asked to put into a chapbook he is
working
on of Spiritual Haikus.
Our next
meeting was slated for May, but had to be rescheduled for June 21st
when it will again be held at 12:00 at the Eastern Empire Bar and Grill (460
Howe Ave., Sacramento, CA 95825).
