Associate Editors - Kate Hall and Andrew Shimield

Blithe Spirit exists as a forum for diverse contributions in the writing and appreciation of haiku and kindred forms of verse. It welcomes all related submissions from the membership. The Editors take responsibility for the selection of items for publication and the layout of the magazine. The views expressed in articles do not necessarily reflect the Editors’ own views.

The Editors welcome submissions of poems and articles from full members of the British Haiku Society on the understanding that these are not under consideration elsewhere. Poetry will not normally be held over from one issue of the journal to the next. Copyright reverts to the author on publication. Please enclose a stamped addressed envelope or IRC, rubber-stamped at the point of purchase, with each submission if you would like a print-out of choices for proof-reading before the next date of publication.

Annual membership of the British Haiku Society includes four issues of “Blithe Spirit”, cover-dated March, June, September, December, and a regular newsletter, “The Brief”, which includes world-wide events and competitions and other news. Standard subscription in UK £25, £20 concessionary - airmail to all non-UK subscribers £28, (US$55, €48).  Subscription to the magazine alone costs £20 a year in UK; Europe £22; by airmail elsewhere £25.
