New Editors for Modern Haiku
Roberta Beary is the new haibun editor for Modern Haiku. Here's what was written in Modern Haiku:
Sharpe-eyed subscribers who compulsively read our masthead will have noticed a few changes there, notably the addition of Roberta Beary's name. We're delighted to announce that Roberta has agreed to join the editorial staff as haibun editor. She's starting right away and will choose from your work for the summer 2012 issue. Please continue to send your submissions to me, however, at moderhaiku@gmail.com.
Roberta recently had one of her haibun nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Congratulations, Roberta!
Charlie Trumbull also had this announcement:
And finally, I realize that unfortunately all this fun cannot go on forever. I am planning to hand over the reins of Modern Haiku after the summer 2013 issue, which coincides with my 70th birthday. The really good news is that Paul Miller--newly dubbed Modern Haiku associate editor--will pick up these reins and ride this thoroughbred of ours into even wider horizons!

I can't think of a better haibun editor than Roberta... one of these days I'll learn how to write it...
I'll be sorry to see Charlie go from MH. The breadth he's brought to this journal is staggering... although I know that Paul is extremely capable and it is being passed on to good hands.
It will be fun to watch how things flower under the new editors... many changes, but much to bring wonder and delight and a great deal of learning in the process.
Life is change. I'm thankful to be in a living art.
