Conference Anthology for Haiku North America 2009

Updated: June 21, 2009

Call for Submissions

In-Hand Deadline: June 30

The 2009 HNA anthology will be dedicated to the memory of William J. Higginson. As with previous anthologies, this year's collection will seek to represent as many conference participants and presenters as possible. You must be a registered conference attendee to have your work included. If you are attending HNA 2009, please send five unpublished haiku or senryu (on any theme) to Michael Dylan Welch by the deadline.

All conference attendees who submit by the in-hand deadline will be guaranteed to have one poem selected for the anthology (after the deadline, the editors will try to include as many late registrants as possible).  Poems must be sent by e-mail, unless you do not have e-mail access, and must be pasted into the body of the e-mail message (no attachments, please). Please honour all deadlines so that we may launch this historic anthology in Ottawa this summer.
