Subject: Feb. 7 broadcast
Greetings! I trust all's well with you and yours.
100 Poets on Mount Ogura, 1 Poem Each book has sold so well in the past few months, Hailstone Haiku Circle was able, just recently, to give our publication partners, People Together for Mt. Ogura, the first 80,000 yen of project profit! PTO needs to build up a healthy balance in order to do a better job of nature conservation and environmental education on Mount Ogura (here in Kyoto). Thank you to all who have purchased copies of this book so far! Copies of the book can still be ordered through me.
On February 7th, I am broadcasting a new 15' radio essay (including old and new haiku/tanka) about this mountain on BBC Radio Three. Details are as given below, if you are interested.
All the best for Old New Year (in Japan called Setsubun),
