Thursday updates
Hi Folks,
I'm writing to let you know about The Haiku Foundation Video Archive campaign on IndieGoGo.
Take a moment if you would to check it out. All the tools are there. Get perks, make a contribution, or simply follow updates. If enough of us get behind it, we can make 'The Haiku Foundation Video Archive' happen. This is a word of mouth kind of campaign, so passing this link along and spreading the word is greatly appreciated too. Thanks for having a look, and take care.

Hi Curtis,
Thought you and your readers would like to hear about the HSA booth at the 52nd Sakura Matsui Japanese Street Festival. It has taken a while to catch my breath, but we were able to reach out to lots of people. I have written up a short article: http://www.turtlelightpress.com/2012/04/haiku-hits-the-streets-of-d-c/ or you can go to my personal Facebook page and check out the wealth of pictures to get a sense of the day, too.
Many thanks,
Rick

Dear Curtis,
An announcement for Tobacco Road.
Thanks so much,

NEW EDITOR AT ACORN
For the past four-and-a-half years I have derived great pleasure from editing Acorn. It has been a joy to read your submissions and publish your haiku. A delightful bonus was that I got to know so many of you in the haiku community. I cherish the connections we have made and look forward to our continued friendship as fellow poets. I will watch for your poems in Acorn and other haiku journals and eagerly anticipate seeing you at haiku conferences and events.
I thank AC Missias, who founded Acorn in 1998, for giving me the opportunity to assume the role of editor in 2008. And now I have the privilege of handing over the reins to Susan Antolin who will become editor of Acorn beginning with the Fall 2012 issue. As I move on to pursue other interests, I am so fortunate to have found someone whose outstanding abilities as a haiku poet, and whose experience as a haiku journal editor, make me feel certain that Acorn’s reputation as a journal of the highest quality haiku will be continued and even enhanced under her guidance. Sue has published a wonderful collection of haiku titled Artichoke Season (which you should read, if you have not already done so). She is currently president of the Haiku Poets of Northern California, co-editor of Mariposa, the HPNC haiku journal, and editor of Ripples, the newsletter of the Haiku Society of America. Most important, I know and trust her poetic vision.
Poems for the Fall 2012 issue will be read during July and August only. Please send your submissions directly to Susan at acornhaiku@gmail.com. (Please note the new email address. The website will remain the same: www.acornhaiku.com.)
All best,
Carolyn Hall

Haiku North America 2011 – Seattle, Washington
Save the date! Haiku North America 2011 will be held August 3 to 7, 2011, in Seattle, Washington.
Members of the Haiku Northwest group have generously offered to host the 2011 conference and they have many exciting plans already in the works, including a harbor cruise. The conference itself will be held at the Seattle Center, at the foot of the Space Needle, providing easy access to haiku writing and walking opportunities such as Pike Place Market (via the monorail), the Olympic Sculpture Park, the Experience Music Project rock-and-roll museum and Science Fiction Museum, and countless other attractions—including fleet week and the Seafair festival, with the Blue Angels performing overhead.
The conference theme will be “Fifty Years of Haiku,” celebrating the past, present, and future of haiku in North America. The deadline for proposals has been extended to February 28, 2011 (http://www.haikunorthamerica.com/pages/2011.html) but sooner is better. Proposals do not have to fit the theme. If you’ve already submitted a proposal, please confirm with Michael Dylan Welch at WelchM@aol.com that you can come to Seattle on the new dates. Speakers already include Cor van den Heuvel, Richard Gilbert, David Lanoue, Carlos Colón, Fay Aoyagi, Jim Kacian, Emiko Miyashita, George Swede, and many others.

Rebecca Ball Rust founded the North Carolina Haiku Society over 30 years ago. Those of you who attended Haiku Holiday last year will remember the quilt project we commissioned in response to Rebecca's recent collection of haiku, In the Night Shallows (2009, Rosenberry Books). (Thanks to Diane Katz of Rosenberry Books for this idea!) Lenard and I delivered the quilts to Rebecca this past weekend. Here are some photos:

Teas from around the world, poets from around North Carolina—join us while we brew up the best tea and haiku for our reading and tasting at:
2:00 to 3:00
Golden Flower Center
612 N. Trade Street
Winston-Salem, NC
Poetea is a combination haiku reading and tea tasting. NCHS members read about 3-5 of their own haiku or the haiku of others, then tea is served as our host, Julie Reynolds, describes the qualities and background of the tea. We have several rounds like that, and then we all go to lunch. It's an enjoyable, low-key afternoon reading with a friendly, receptive audience.
Here's some video from Poetea IV.
Please Note: If think you might come, please reply to this email so we can plan how many chairs we'll need, etc. So far, we know that Bob, Curtis, and I will read.
Hope to see you there!

Rebecca Ball Rust founded the North Carolina Haiku Society over 30 years ago. Those of you who attended Haiku Holiday last year will remember the quilt project we commissioned in response to Rebecca's recent collection of haiku, In the Night Shallows (2009, Rosenberry Books). (Thanks to Diane Katz of Rosenberry Books for this idea!) Lenard and I delivered the quilts to Rebecca this past weekend. Here are some photos:

I just finished a series with Carol Purington who sent me four tanka. I created "The Seasons at Woodslawn Farm" from her tanka and they are presently published at Haigaonline
http://www.haigaonline.com/gallery-latesnow/purington-gonzales/album/entry.html
It was a wonderful experience in that I felt like I'd been invited to the farm where Carol and her family live.

Dear Curtis,
I wanted to let everyone know the latest news at Turtle Light Press. We have just selected the winner of the 2010 haiku chapbook competition -- All That Remains by Catherine J.S. Lee. Unlike Michael McClintock, a veteran haiku poet who won the first competition, Lee is a relative newcomer to haiku. She has been writing haiku for two years but exhibits an evocative, mature voice. You can take a look at this link,
http://www.turtlelightpress.com/Books/chapbookwinner2010.shtml
...to read the full award statement and sample some of Lee's moving poems. TLP is planning to release All That Remains this coming fall.
We had a lot of wonderful entries from several countries around the world and one in particular, Wing on Wing by Kathleen O'Toole, was given an Honorable Mention. I judged the contest again with Jamaican poet and writer Kwame Dawes.
Also, please let folks know that McClintock's Sketches from the San Joaquin, which took first prize in the initial TLP haiku chapbook competition, is now available through our website and we are working on a limited edition that will contain sketches based on photos of the valley taken by photojournalist Dorothea Lange. The book itself will open from two sides inward, giving readers a sense of entering the valley and discovering poems along the way. A publication date for the limited edition has not yet been set but I will let you know.
Many thanks,
Rick

I'm proud to say that Angelee Deodhar and yours truly are collaborators of a haiga. Angelee was inspired to pen a haiku to one of the pictures I took of a tree that had fallen during the recent ice storm in North Carolina.
Beginning tomorrow, five of my poems (a poem per day) will be featured on Shreve Memorial Library's Electronic Poetry Network. They will run all day (or all weekend) long on an electronic message board at the Main Library in Shreveport, Louisiana. They will also appear on the EPN library's web site:

This just in from an'ya:
The original founder and first Webmistress of HAIGAOnline was Jeanne Emrich; the second editor and webmistress of haigaonline was an'ya, and the third editor and current Webmistress is Linda Papanicolaou, who now keeps it alive and well as Haigaonline at www.haigaonline.com
From the very beginning and to-date, the "Poem this Painting" concept was and still is, a special feature of HO.

Dyck of Canada. Marje herself will choose the haiku she thinks best enhances her artwork, and the finished haiga (haiku painting) will be published in moonset's Spring/Summer 2010 issue.
Just submit your (one) haiku directly to moonseteditor@gmail.com with the subject heading "Author this Picture" any time before our next deadline of 1 February, 2010. Think spring! . . .

1000 Verse Renga, a Halloween haiga, and zombie haiku
The 1000 Verse Renga
Alan Summers, of With Words, in Partnership with Bath Libraries (U.K.) has been encouraging a local and global 1000 Verse Renga (senku) where local library users and staff and international haiku poets have been contributing verses during October.
The senku is 800+ verses strong at the moment, with some of the earliest contributions from Michael Dylan Welch, whose autumn hokku so inspired one school they wrote two shisan renku!
The latest contributions have been from the New York State area and Alaska, and from several U.S. librarians, one of whom you may know from Mann Library, thanks Tom!
As 1000 verses need to be reached by 7th November (midnight all time zones) we would love to receive more verses.
As verses pour in from numerous means all the time some verses cannot be linked immediately but will be linked in the final edit, so please do send a renga verse to: 1000verses@withwords.org.uk
BBC 1000 Verse Renga article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/bristol/hi/people_and_places/arts_and_culture/newsid_8316000/8316198.stm
Alan's Area 17 blog: http://area17.blogspot.com
With Words: http://www.withwords.org.uk
The final version of the 1000 Verse Renga will be a free eBook on With Words, hopefully before Christmas.
Collin Barber sent this very fine seasonal haiga:
The following video appears to be a parody of the Kerouac readings posted here last year. In the spirit of Halloween fun and really, REALLY, bad 5-7-5 haiku, we have Zombie Haiku:
Have a safe zombie-free Halloween!
