On the Road to Basra is an anti-war renku composed over the past several weeks by about ten poets worldwide.
A renku, also called renga, is a collaboratively-written poem composed of successive "stanzas" of linked haiku. Bill Higginson, who organized this work, tells me that a "kasen renku" is a renku of 36 stanzas ("with certain other formal niceties" he adds).
