1 y separately published work icon The First Hay(na)ku Anthology Mark Young (editor), Jean Vengua (editor), San Francisco Finland : Meritage Press xPressed , 2005 10434998 2005 anthology poetry

An anthology of hay(na)ku, a poem form that is similar to but distinct from the haiku: like haiku, hay(na)ku are short poems (six words in three lines), but they lack the syllabic and subject-specific formality of haiku.

Hay(na)ku were invented by Eileen Tabios, an American poet who is behind small publisher Meritage Press. The form in connected to the Philippines (the name is not Tagalog, but corresponds to a Tagalog phrase), and was formally inaugurated online on 12 June 2003 (Philippine Independence Day).
