I’d like to pay tribute to Deborah P. Kolodji, who died on 21st July 2024. Deborah was a significant contributor to the world of haiku and will be greatly missed by many around the world. I was lucky enough to meet Deborah during the Meguro International Haiku Circle’s 2019 Sakura Festival in Tokyo. Haikupedia page.

With great sadness, I’d like to acknowledge the untimely late 2023 death of Ghanaian poet Adjei Agyei-Baah, who was living in New Zealand while completing his PhD at the University of Waikato. Adjei was a widely published poet and a co-founder of the Africa Haiku Network and also of the journal The Mamba. Haikupedia entry. 27th January 2024 Haiku Down Under Facebook post.
