- We accept only haiku.
- Meditative haiku about nature are bullshit*. We want to laugh our asses off. Be clever.
- Submit a handful. We'll probably only pick one or two to post, though, so don't get pissy if you don't see 'em all (or any of 'em) enshrined in glory here.
- Issues will be monthly-ish. The first deadline for submissions is June 30. You'll probably see about a dozen or so selected.
From time to time we'll be doing themed issues called "Astral Projections," where everybody writes dramatic monologue-y haiku from the perspective of a specific, predetermined character.
Aaaaaand.... begin! Just paste the poems into the body of an e-mail and send them to highcoupjournal {at} gmail.com.

* Okay, they're not bullshit, per se. They have their place. But I'm sick and goddamned tired of being told that a witty haiku "isn't a haiku." Sure, it might be a senryu, but nobody in English uses that term outside of academia and Japanophiles. So shove it up your self-righteous asses until you choke.
