HSA Member on the Benefits of Joining the Haiku Society of America:

I've been an HSA member since 1995, and it's been vital to my education and networking as a poet of haiku and related Japanese forms. Each year, the HSA offers three book-size journals with poetry, informative essays, and book reviews, along with a members' anthology that allows haiku poets of all levels to get published. HSA also provides free programs at national conferences and through regional chapters with talented haiku poets leading workshops and critiques. Its comprehensive monthly newsletter connects worldwide members, and keeps them current about regional, national, and international haiku news and even publishing opportunities through other organizations.

More importantly for beginning poets, the HSA provides monthly mentorship programs in small groups through Zoom, led by seasoned poets, with participants' work critiqued and refined for publication. Further, HSA contests provide something of interest to all haikuists and authors of other Japanese poetic forms.

For just $35 a year, the Organization offers a wealth of benefits that simply can't be beat by most writers' organizations.
