The Haiku Society of America is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1968 by Harold G. Henderson and Leroy Kanterman to promote the writing and appreciation of haiku poetry in English. Membership is open to all readers, writers, translators, and students of haiku. The HSA has been meeting regularly since its inception and sponsors open lectures, workshops, readings, and contests. The society’s journal, Frogpond, which features work by HSA members and others, as well as articles and book reviews, has been published since 1978. The HSA also publishes a newsletter, Ripples, containing reports of the society’s national meetings and news of regional, national, and international events and activities. See our .haiku column written by Gene Myers. The HSA maintains a website with additional information about the society, archives of winners of the HSA contests, and other haiku activities at <http://www.hsa-haiku.org>, including regional information at <http://www.hsa-haiku.org/regions/regions.htm>. The HSA also has a Facebook page. The HSA’s official archives are maintained at the California State Library at the American Haiku Archives, which has a website at <http://www.americanhaikuarchives.org/>. |
