I am honored and grateful to be included in Gabriela Marie Milton’s upcoming anthology of haiku! This is the second anthology I’ve been part of following the beautiful Petals of Haiku released in May 2024.
Thank you again, Gabriela and Literary Revelations for believing in my work. π

From Gabriela’s blog post:
@LR_Publisher, just sent out letters of acceptance (or rejection) for our upcoming book Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted. Please help me spread the news. Soon, we will send you the whole design of the cover β as you know, the art on the cover belongs to Japanese artist Hikari and the fine art photography included in the book to Japanese artist Naoki Kimura. Over 240 authors were included.

And Congratulations to the amazing authors whose work will be showcased in this gorgeous anthology!

Congratulations, Lauren!
This looks like a wonderful book of Haiku.
I popped over. I love the art and photographs.
I know I’ll be hearing more about it in the near future. I wanted to leave a comment there, but I’m leaving it here instead. I just got over a WP comments weirdness that lasted weeks. If I don’t see a green “Subscribed” button in the lower right, I am wary about commenting.

Thanks again, Resa! I’m thrilled to be included, and I think it’s going to be a beautiful collection. I love the artwork too. I also understand about WP comments. I was having issues last week, but they seem to have resolved themselves. Have a fab day! Love you! πππ€
Love you too!

congrats on being published in Gabriella’s new venture! Well deserved!
Thanks for all of your kind words today, Carol Anne! I hope you have a good weekend! Hugs ππ
