Haiku Society of America

Haiku Society of America Region

This region includes Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming.

The Mountains Region of the HSA consists of five states, with the largest concentration of members residing in Colorado. The size and rural nature of the region, along with its relatively small membership numbers, make it difficult for haiku poets to sustain in-person groups that can meet on a regular basis. However, the region currently sponsors a monthly in-person workshop in the Denver area that also functions in a hybrid form with members logging in via Zoom from all over the vast region. Additionally, a number of Mountains Region members have distinguished themselves on their own within the HSA and the greater haiku community as editors as well as poets, with much of their haiku and haiku-related work being published in many of the leading haiku journals. Mountains Region members stay up to date with the HSA and the haiku community through a quarterly newsletter, and many have made meaningful and productive contacts with other haiku poets outside the region.

If you are interested in knowing more about us, or learning about the opportunities available to you in the region, please contact the Mountains Regional Coordinator at the email address listed elsewhere on this page.
