Issa’s Snail is a collaborative poetry site open to those wanting to be involved in renku (or renga) – linked verse by multiple authors.
We are open to multiple moderators, (especially ones more knowledgeable than I) and to start we have brilliant Queensland poet, editor and publisher Graham Nunn as the leader of our first kasen renku!
AND along with Graham we have accepted an offer from Simply Haiku editor John Carley to lead our first Junicho renku!
Please feel free to post a response by clicking on either ‘Drafts & Discussions’ page. To see how the renku are progressing, have a look at one of the ’Current’ pages.
If you’re interested in helping out with the admin and moderation, e-mail mountain0ash[at]gmail.com and we can talk about adding you as an administrator

And a big thank you to Keiji and David at Cordite, for directly inspiring this group with a fantastic renga

I strongly recommend visiting Cordite to read Keiji’s excellent notes on renga, they are far better than I could ever do and are not just useful if you want to contribute, but are fascinating of themselves
