The Pan Haiku Review focuses on Japanese short-form poetry, including haiku, senryu, tanka, haiga and haibun/tanka prose. Typically each issue has a theme. For example, issue four is only accepting submissions of haibun and tanka prose. The editor, Alan Summers, has been involved in haikai literature and tanka since 1993. He is a Pushcart Prize–nominated poet for both haiku and haibun, as well as Best Small Fictions–nominated for haibun. He is also a multiple Touchstone Award–nominated poet and winner.
