A brief personal note: this venture was initially set up by Iain Paton, whose wife Deborah was in Iwate teaching English for a year. She hopes to supply some images and memories of Iwate. Thankfully, Iain’s friends from Ofunato are so far safe, although the emotional and human cost is difficult to imagine.
Betty Porrelli and Layla Blackwell of GWG have offered to contribute.
Having difficulty submitting some of my work via email addressed to writersglasgowjapan@yahoo.com. I am recurrently getting a Delivery Service Failure message from Hotmail. Is this difficulty something that only I am encountering?
Hi there,
I emailed you a submission on 6 April and just wondered if you’d received it safely. It’s a collation of haiku from me and four of the students in my Open Uni creative writing group.
Thanks for checking!
Best,
Carol.
Norman, sorry for the delay….I think I’ve got yours. Do they include ‘Quietus’?
Carol…got yours OK!
Hi guys, can you let me know if you got my email. Cheers, Colin
