This week I want to return to thoughts of the Poetry Pea Anthology, Little Marvels for 2025, which if you’ve been listening to the podcasts this year you’ll know is on the theme of belonging and alienation.

Don’t worry, you have time to think about your submissions, your invitation will be arriving at some point later in the year… of course later could be next month or five months away. What you need to do if you would like to submit is make sure you are on the mailing list. You can sign up on the Poetry Pea website. Only poets on the mailing list will be invited to submit. I do check.

So anyway a few weeks ago, in episode 5 of this series I discussed the idea of belonging and the various ways we can interpret that in haiku and senryū. Today I’d like to focus on alienation.
