Special Features: Early issues of High/Coo were published in loose leaf with poemcards serving as covers. After going to a saddle stitch binding with issue 5, we continued to publish a poemcard with most issues. We still have about twelve different poemcards available. Several issues were focused on a single theme or type of short poetry. Issue five features free-form tanka in English and issue eight is a special thematic issue on cats. Issue twelve is a special issue on children in haiku, and several issues featured the work of Raymond Roseliep, Sandy Goldstein, Peggy Lyles and other well known haiku writers. We also had a lot of fun with graphics, sometimes printing Shirley's linoleum cuts and other times experimenting with nature prints of objects such as leaves, thistles and things found on walks to the woods.
Subscription not available. High/Coo Quarterly is no longer being published. (It was replaced by Mayfly magazine.)
