Johnny Baranski

New Bridges is an anthology of haiku and tanka by The Portland Haiku Group, made in memory of three haiku poets: Johnny Baranski (1948-2018), Thomas Martin (1944-2018), and Lorraine Ellis Harr (1912-2006). This anthology is dedicated to Johnny Baranski and features 3-line haiku, 2-line haiku, 1-line haiku, and tanka by 17 poets in The Portland Haiku Group with a foreword by Japan Times award-winning writer Alan Summers. Edited by Jacob Salzer. In a world where it seems more walls are being built around us, it is our hope that this anthology will encourage people to build more friendships, to create a better world for now and our future generations.

David H. Rosen is the author of such wide-ranging books as: Transforming Depression: Healing the Soul Through Creativity (1993), The Tao of Elvis (2002), The Healing Spirit of Haiku (2004), and Time, Love, and Licorice (2015).
