In 1987, Tundra Wind (of Discordian Zen fame) put together a small APA zine for friends in northern California and called it APA Renga. T.L. Kelly (then known as Terri Lee Grell) took over as editor and publisher two years later and changed the name of the zine to Lynx Journal of Renga, and changed the format for mass distribution. A story about her work as the editor of Lynx was featured in The Daily News, and in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. She secured funding and a bit of notoriety for Lynx through grants provided by her mentor and renga fan, John Cage, who co-founded the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts in New York City. Lynx poets developed a niche for renga as an avant-garde form, and also experimented with and popularized other collaborative forms through Lynx.Now it's titled Lynx: A Journal for Linking Poets, and is edited and published by Jane Reichhold of Gualala, California. Lynx publishes renga, tanka, tanka sequences, haibun, ghazals, and articles. All submissions should be original, unpublished and not under consideration elsewhere. Lynx is an excellent forum for renga and other experimental forms, and has been around in one incarnation or another for nearly two decades.
