Welcome!

My name is Jacob D. Salzer. I am a Pacific Northwest poet, artist, and editor. I have been writing haiku, tanka, and haibun in English since 2006. I was a past managing editor of Frogpond: The Journal of the Haiku Society of America (2023-2024). I am also the founding editor of Mayfly Editing and the Haiku Poet Interviews blog, and serve as a co-commentator for the Haiku Commentary blog with Nicholas Klacsanzky and Hifsa Ashraf. I am also an artist. My drawings and paintings can be viewed in my online art gallery.

 

My most recent haiku & tanka chapbook, A Lost Prophet, is now available through Brooks Books.

​

My most recent tanka poetry collection, A Stormy Sea, is now available as a limited edition, printed with banana paper. The cost is $15 (printed) or $12 (pdf sent by email) through my PayPal: paypal.me/JacobSalzer
