[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Submit haiku & artwork for the new Downtown Dharma charity haiku collection!

Hi Jude!

I'm happy to help promote this if you'd like.  We can post to our IG as well as share in the discord and in person.  If you have something to post on social media, we can do a colab or just share it with the folks that follow the workshop.

Also, if you hadn't considered it yet, Abigail might be amenable to bringing it up at the next haiku group.

Talk soon,

Nate

P.S. I'll get a couple more submitted that I worked on over the winter.  I'll stick to ones that pertain to either walking/hiking or Buddhism/meditation.  If you'd like some outside of those themes just let me know.

Hello!

Since this week has decided to be spring, summer, fall, and winter all in one--I thought I would put out a call for submissions for our new Downtown Dharma haiku collection! We welcome your seasonally inspired haiku and artwork :)

Last year, Downtown Dharma and friends showcased beautiful haiku and artwork--and raised over $1100 for Capital Area Food Bank with our collection, A Walk With Others. This year, we're doing it again! Inspired by our seasonal haiku events, this collection will again celebrate our community's creativity and raise funds for a local DC-area anti-hunger organization. Anyone connected with Downtown Dharma, IMCW, the DC poetry community, and beyond is welcome to submit.

Please consider submitting one or more haiku by May 22 via this Google form: https://forms.gle/WNWGXh6HKTLuE1pq6 

Care to contribute visual art? Please do! You can submit photography, illustrations, and haiga (illustrated haiku) here: https://forms.gle/1UGAQujo6dzn3iXZ7 

Submission guidelines and details on printing/distribution/fundraising are available here, but please let me know if you have any questions! Some folks have generously offered to help me co-edit, design, and distribute this collection. If you would like to be involved in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Very best,

Jude
