any moment now

any moment now is the first anthology of haikai forms brought out by the haijin of the poetry and art collective bric-à-brac, edited by Shloka Shankar and published by Yavanika Press in December 2023. 
 
“Twenty-five poets, a little over hundred poems, and one Master teacher: these are the ingredients that make any moment now a publishing event worth celebrating. This anthology of short poems includes the haikai forms as well as cherita, all written by students of Shloka Shankar. Some of the featured poets have already issued a chapbook or two, many have appeared in well-known haiku journals, while the youngest poet, at age twelve, skillfully elicits the spirit of senryu in his lines: ‘old schoolbag / I pull out / a familiar smell.’ Savor this exciting book as these poets share their worlds with you.”
