4. Journal of Renga & Renku update
We’re happy to say that, despite Norman having been snowed in and virtually incommunicado for some weeks now, we’re still on track with Issue 1 being available for purchase if not at year’s end, then early in 2011. Purchase and pricing details will be available on our website by then too.
We’ll be finalizing page design and the proofreading stages of the manuscript when Norman’s internet connection has been restored and after that, contributors/sabaki can expect to receive a pdf of their section of the content for a last look-over.
The journal will run to some 150 large-size pages of renku articles and poetry and the list of contributors is roughly that number too. The listing is available for view on the DR website here:
www.darlingtonrichards.com/index.php/titles/journal-of-renga-renku-list-of-contributors/
We’re also offering all contributors a few lines of page space to introduce themselves to JRR readers if they’d like to. Our invitation is copied below should you not have received yours yet – we’d love to hear from (and about) you.

Invitation
Dear contributor, please help us create a vibrant and interesting bio page for JRR. In 50 – 100 words, tell us who you are, where you live and what attracts you to renga/renku. Bios should preferably not be in the first person and please, not be a list of prior publications – too much fiddly formatting. We’ll load them as they arrive, into the outline on our website here:
www.darlingtonrichards.com/index.php/titles/journal-of-renga-renku-list-of-contributors/
so you will be able to check back after a few days to proof read your entry. Please reply within 7 days to rengarenku@gmail.com (rengarenku @ gmail.com) and sabaki, please pass this on to the renju in your poem so we can get their information too.
