PRUNE JUICE
Journal of Senryu and Kyoka
Biannual Journal
PRUNE JUICE: Journal of Senryu and Kyoka is a biannual print and digital magazine dedicated to publishing
and promoting fine senryu and kyoka in English. Senryu generally emphasize human foibles and frailties, usually
satirically, ironically, humorously. Season words are not necessary nor usual in senryu. Kyoka have a different
history than senryu; nevertheless, for modern kyoka in English, the definition is similar: a poem in the tanka
form but with the satirical, ironic, humorous aspects of senryu. We are looking for fresh works, not clichéd
poems. Wit is highly appreciated, as well as insight. We appreciate a wide range of both genres, from the gently
humorous to the most wicked satire. Edited by Alexis Rotella.
