Welcome to Haiku North America

Haiku North America (HNA) is a biennial conference in celebration of haiku poetry. Every two years we offer five stimulating days of papers, panels, workshops, readings, performances, book sales, cultural outings, and much socialization with fellow poets, translators, scholars, editors, and publishers. Conferences take place in the United States or Canada and focus on North American poets, their haiku, and related arts. Everyone is welcome to attend HNA, the largest and oldest gathering of haiku poets outside Japan. Read HNA updates on the HNA blog and explore this site for more information. 

​Haiku North America 2021 took place October 14–17, 2021 as a virtual Zoom event. Please explore the Quick Links below for more information about the theme, program, memorial reading, handouts, freebies, book fair, conference anthology and latest news.

We are also excited to announce that our next HNA conference will take place in June of 2023, in person, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Watch for details!
