Election 2020 Haiku

Hedgehogs and Foxes called for submissions of Election 2020 Haiku and received many more submissions than we expected, and we’re thrilled!

In fact, there were so many high-quality submissions that the Hedgehogs & Foxes editorial board couldn’t choose winners, so we are pleased to announce that H&F is publishing all of the Election 2020 Haiku submissions here.

Thank you to all who participated! And DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!

Yet Empty Brest-beating
