Welcome to the website of David Cobb and his personal imprint, Equinox Press.

I'm rather well known in 'the world of haiku' for my anthologies, for my translations, for my fieldwork on behalf of haiku, and for my personal collections.


"It is high time that a leading English publisher ... gave one of England's most original and engaging writers — in any literary genre — the prominence he deserves."

Nigel Jenkins,
Planet — the Welsh Internationalist, UK, 2003.



Whether you're a relative newcomer to the field, looking for the sort of broad sampling of what it is all about that you get from an anthology, or whether you're looking for a distinctive and strong individual 'voice', I hope you'll find something to please you in the pages that follow.

If you wish to contact me for some reason connected with haiku or other forms of poetry, other than purchasing one or more of my books, you're welcome to do so at the following address:

   Sinodun
   Shalford

I have experience in leading workshops on haiku and haibun at all levels, also of giving readings, including an audience-interactive programme based on The Dead Poets Cabaret. I can also, as a compiler/editor of The Genius of Haiku — readings from R H Blyth, (BHS, 1994), give an informed talk about that seminal figure in world literature, the English tutor to the Emperor of Japan, R H Blyth.

Thank you for your interest!
