The eagerly-awaited second issue of PRUNE JUICE is here. “Senryu is a way of connecting with the human race. Senryu can be gossip—a way of sharing information with and about each other. Or it may just be a way of reporting about the condition of the human race and the drama we encounter or witness everyday. Humor is cleansing; it’s necessary. . . . Perhaps writing senryu is a way to improve our haiku —it clears the channels, cuts away dead wood, removes the dross. More of you seem to be developing your sense of senryu; it’s a form that is finally catching on. Without senryu to balance haiku, it would be a dry world.”—Alexis Rotella, Editor.
