Off the Beaten Track presents new work by twelve writers taking part in a unique collaborative project: each of them was invited to compose one haiku per day for a month, thus contributing towards the total of 365 haiku for a full calendar year. Half of the authors are widely published writers of haiku, while the other half are almost (or entirely) new to the form. This situates the collection within the tradition of English-language haiku, while also seeking to extend its boundaries through the inclusion of 'outsiders' with respect to that tradition. Complementing the haiku are original illustrations by twelve artists, making the volume as visually striking as it is thought-provoking and diverse.

About the Author
Christopher Herold was born in New York in 1948. He was a student of Shunryu Suzuki, and his commitment to Zen practice is reflected in his writing. His most recent collection is <em >The Moon Unfazed, a gathering of moon-inspired haiku. Fabian Ironside was born in Oxford in 1973. He is a prolific writer and editor, chiefly under pen-names. He has published books about Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hamish Ironside was born in Reading in January 1971. He has published two books of haiku with IRON Press. His longer poems have appeared in <em >Poetry Review, <em >P N Review and <em >The Guardian, among others.
<br /><br />Éireann Lorsung was born and grew up in Minneapolis. She has lived in France and England, and now lives in Belgium. She writes poems, essays and fiction, and has published two collections of poems with Milkweed Editions.
<br /><br />Bob Lucky contributes regularly to haiku and tanka journals worldwide, and his work has been widely anthologized. He was living in Ethiopia when he wrote his month of haiku for <em >Off the Beaten Track, and has more recently moved to Saudi Arabia.
<br /><br />Momus is Nicholas Currie, a singer-songwriter, author, blogger and occasional performance artist. He was born in Scotland and currently lives in Osaka. His blog at http://imomus.com provides an excellent introduction to his many activities.
