Nexus: Buddha's Temple - a quarterly haiku journal is now moving from print to the Web and will be published by HaikuHut. The next issue will be in January, and they are now accepting submissions for the March 1, 2003 issue.

This is my 97th poem written in Pangasinan language including a couple of translations.
