The HNA 2017 Raffle
 
We’re delighted by a most generous donation to HNA 2017. Prominent painter William Berra (husband of Santa Fe Haiku Group’s Alanna Burke) has given one of his wonderful oil paintings on a New Mexico theme to the Conference and another to use on the cover on the SFHG’s new members’ chapbook. The painting will be raffled at the Conference, with tickets priced at $5.00 each or three for $10.00.
 
Berra’s work was recently featured in a show titled William Berra: Inspired by Nature, June 24–July 22, 2017, at the Nedra Mateucci Gallery, one of Santa Fe’s top venues. For more information about the artist, see the Wikipedia article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Berra.

Haiku Neophytes Welcome!
 
Of course we hope all conference events will appeal to neophytes and well as established haikuists, your HNA 2017 Organizing Committee has made a special effort to have plenty of sessions to assist newbies. The following events are specifically tailored to appeal to beginners:
 
Revising Haiku for Beginners (Workshop)
— Scott Wiggerman
Those new to haiku often sense that something’s not quite working in haiku they’ve written, but they don’t know what it is or how to fix it. In this critiquing workshop for newbies, Earthsigns co-editor Scott Wiggerman will lead the way in discussing haiku that you bring to the workshop, highlighting techniques that just might turn mediocre haiku into something you can be proud of. With open minds, be prepared to share, discuss, and put your worst work forward.
 
What Is a Haiku, What is an English-language Haiku, And Why Do We Ask These Questions? (Workshop)
— John Stevenson
What we call haiku today is the product of many centuries of evolution. This presentation will focus on what is consistent through most of that period and what has fallen away as haiku has been adapted to the poetics of various languages and cultures, particularly to English-language practices. The program is open to all but is tailored to be of most value to poets relatively new to haiku.
 
Haiku: The Basics (Workshop)
— Jeannie Martin
A workshop for those new to haiku, we will cover the basics: form and structure, content, the four most recent trends in writing haiku, and a little history. We will take a look at famous and not so famous haiku and review the elements that make them work. Participants will have an opportunity to consider what attracts them to haiku and what may be their preference in terms of style and content.
 
Prickly Pear: Touch in Haiku (Workshop)
— Jeannie Martin
Touch is perhaps our most basic sense, the way we first experience the world and often, our last as well. In this workshop we will focus on touch in haiku: how we convey deep reality, connection with nature and each other, and belonging through this most basic sense. After reading a variety of haiku involving touch, we will try our hands at writing a touch haiku using an easy prompt.
 
Haiku: A First for Everything (Workshop)
— Tom Painting
Unlock the rich treasury of your memory, the power of imagination and a keener awareness of the here-and-now. Participants will focus on “firsts” as a way isolate moments in time around which one may build haiku.
 
The Power of Kigo in Making Haiku
— Makoto Nakanishi
Kigo--season words—can be very powerful in bringing out rich and colorful images for readers of haiku. It is even said that one season word is worth 20 to 30 sentences! This presentation will explore the power of season words, using examples from the haiku classes I have conducted in Canada.
 
Rengay Workshop
— Garry Gay
This hands-on workshop will be taught by the creator of the rengay, a fun and easy Western linking form. The rengay will be explained and explored, and participants will divide into twos or threes to write their own collaborative poems.  If you can write haiku, you can write rengay! Come join us for some fun.
 
Seeing Haiku: Haiku in American Sign Language and Sign Mime
— Jerome Cushman
A few well-known haiku will be performed using ASL and sign mime, followed by a discussion of the special analysis required to translate haiku/senryu. Time permitting, we’ll try to sign haiku/senryu submitted by members of the audience.

Sign-up for Workshops
 
Two of the workshops/demonstrations with limited attendance: Natalie Goldberg’s “The Power of Haiku and Practice” and Tom Leech’s “Suminagashi Demonstration” filled up within a few hours. Please do not try to sign up for these two events any longer!
 
The two sessions of  Lidia Rozmus’s “One Brush Stroke” also filled up quickly, and I started a list of alternate attendees. This morning I spoke with Lidia and she agreed to admit a few “auditors” to her 2nd session, Saturday, September 16, 4:30–6:00. Those on the alternates list will already have received my invitation to be one of these auditors, but a few more places as auditors may be available. If you’d like to be considered, please  reply by e-mail to me at  trumbullc@comcast.net
 
Tom Painting has graciously agreed to hold a 2nd session of his workshop “Haiku: A First for Everything” on Thursday evening. So we now plan these two sessions:
 
1. Thursday, Sept. 14, 4:00–5:00. This session will run concurrently with Margaret Chula’s haibun workshop, “What the Earth Holds.”
2. Thursday, Sept. 14, 7:30–8:30. This session will run concurrently with the beginning of the 2nd “Kaleidoscope” new book launch reading
 
If you have already signed up for Tom’s workshop, I have contacted you to determine which session you prefer.
 
There are still a few places available in both sessions (especially the 2nd). If you would like to sign up, please e-mail me at the address above and indicate your preference in this format: 1st session only; 2nd session only; either, but prefer 1st; either, but prefer 2nd.
 
Scott Wiggerman’s workshop, “Revising Haiku for Beginners,” is also technically full, but he is willing to accept a few more beginners eager to learn. Again, please e-mail me at the above address.

Earthsigns Soon A-Bornin’
 
Editors Michael Dylan Welch and Scott Wiggerman announce that the HNA 2017 Conference Anthology now has a name — Earthsigns — and is ready to go to press. Featuring the haiku of 179 poet-attendees, this will be by far the largest anthology of any of the Haiku North America Conferences. Each registrant at HNA 2017 will receive a copy of Earthlinks, and will have the opportunity to read his/her haiku aloud at the ceremonial opening reading on Thursday morning beginning about 9:00.

Selling Something at the Book Fair?
 
Are you planning to participate in the HNA 2017 Book Fair?  Be sure to read the Rules & Regs on the website at http://www.haikunorthamerica.com/book-fair.html. In particular, we’d like to have your Book Fair Inventory Sheets as soon as possible to help plan table space. Please do not ship your books to us just yet — we’ll have instructions in a few weeks.

Sign-up for Workshops
 
A number of leaders of workshops and other events at HNA 2017 have requested that attendance be limited for a variety of reasons. We now have more than 215 registrants for HNA 2017, so the only way that we can sign up conference participants for these limited sessions in a fair and equitable way is to sign up registered attendees on a first-come, first-served basis.
 
Accordingly, the following procedures will be followed:
 
• The events affected are listed below. Some of these are new additions to the Program. You may wish to look at the Program Schedule at the HNA 2017 website to check for concurrent events.
• If you wish to sign up for one or more of these events, reply by e-mail to Charles Trumbull at trumbullc@comcast.net and indicate for which event(s) you wish to register. Please list your selections in order of preference.
• We will accept bids in the order they are sent (per date and time on the e-mail) and compile a list for each event. We will also set up an alternates list.
• You will be notified of your status by return e-mail.
• In case we do not not fill the affected events, additional sign-ups will be possible at the Conference.
• Good luck!

An important omission
 
Mea culpa. In News Bulletin #7 I mistakenly omitted mention of Maggie Chula’s haibun workshop, which she is specifically tailoring to the Conference theme  “earthtones.” Here’s the description from the HNA 2017 Program:
 
What the Earth Holds: A Haibun Workshop
     — Margaret Chula
Earth is the ground we stand on. It feeds and sustains us. We entrust our dead to the earth and honor them. The Santa Fe landscape of rock formations, minerals, and plant life will stimulate our imaginations as well as poems by eminent poets on the theme of earth. This is a generative workshop for both new and seasoned haibun writers.
 
 
*  *  *  *  *
 
Sign-up for workshops
 
I had intended to call for folks to sign up for the workshops with limits on participation right after August 1 when the regular registration period closed and the number of attendees stabilized a bit. (It hasn’t stabilized much, and registrations continue to flow in—we’re well over 200 already!) In the meantime we have had to cancel Terry Ann Carter’s book-making workshops, which were among those with restricted participation. We’re working to find a possible replacement, but it will be a few days before we know for sure. Please bear with us. We’ll get people signed up as soon as we can.

Private Tours of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum
Wednesday, September 13, 3–5 p.m.
 
Special arrangements have been made for private tours of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. To join the tour, you must register in advance by emailing Sondra Byrnes at s-byrnes@sbcglobal.net by August 25, 2017. The admission fee of $13 per person will be collected at the Museum. Depending upon the number of those interested, we will schedule up to three separate tours and provide transportation from the hotel to the museum. Once the schedule is established, we will inform you of the specific time of the tour—within the 3–5 p.m. window.
 
Explore a remarkable American story through O’Keeffe’s art, personal possessions, and art materials along with photographs and documents from her life. Museum docents will provide a 60-minute tour of the galleries to share their knowledge and insights, and provide interesting information about the current exhibition.

What’s this “earthtones” stuff anyway?
 
This year will be the first time Haiku North America has been held in the U.S. Southwest. To mark that honor, your HNA Organizing Committee chose as its theme earthtones, which was meant to suggest not only the subtle colors of our mountains and high desert, but also the natural hues and sounds of the country and the various cultures who live here. We’re gratified that a number of presenters at HNA 2017 will be exploring earthtones and the wonders of the Southwest, New Mexico, and Santa Fe and even adjacent Mexico.
 
Skin Tones are Earth Tones (Keynote Address)
—Ruth Yarrow
Ruth Yarrow will link the HNA 2017 conference theme of “earthtones” to the skin colors of our species. While affirming that the concept of race is a biological illusion, she will share haiku by many poets that reveal some ways bias and power in our society, based on skin color, affect all of our lives.
 
Haiku and Senryu in the Santa Fe Internment Camp (The William J. Higginson Memorial Lecture)
— Teruko Kumei
About 70 years ago, looking down over the city of Santa Fe, Japanese immigrants in the Santa Fe Internment Camp gathered and wrote haiku and senryu. They left a record of their senryu reading circle, Kogen (Highland), and published a haiku anthology, Ginto (Silver Dome). I propose to introduce their poems in Japanese, then explain the meaning in English. As haiku and senryu are “the records of life, poems of sentiments,” listening to the voices of the internees deepens our understanding of the lives and sentiments of the people in the Santa Fe internment Camp.
 
 Haiku: The State of Wonder
—Scott Mason
If New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment and Santa Fe is the City Different, haiku poetry might just be the State of Wonder. Scott Mason will explore several of the distinctive ways that haiku begins with and inspires wonder.
 
President Obama’s Earthtone Haiku
—David McMurray
Beginning with U.S. President Barack Obama’s green haiku, David discusses haiku in English that are intertwined with a line of various other languages spoken in North America. He also shares a few earthtone-colored haiku from the Asahi Haikuist Network.
 
New Mexico Haiku
—Miriam Sagan
New Mexico has long served as muse to writers seeking vision and expanse. It’s haiku history includes the counterculture, Haiku Society of America, scholars, poets, and renegades. This will be a look at almost fifty years of haiku springing from the Land of Enchantment.
 
Dance Your Way Through earthtones
—Kala Ramesh & Preethi Ramprasad
A recital of dance and haiku reading that highlights the synergy between an Indian classical dancer and a haiku poet. A selection of haiku from Naad Anunaad: An Anthology of Contemporary World Haiku, written by authors from all over the world, will be read aloud by Kala, then interpreted through Preethi’s abhinaya (body and facial expression), a beautiful idiom of the Indian classical dance style called bharatanatyam.
 
In addition, you won’t want to miss these theme-related events of local interest:
• Donna Beaver & Veronica Golos conversing about Native American Haiku
• Cristina Rascón-Castro presenting Mexican Haiku: Tradition, Translation, and Transgression
• Elizabeth Morley talking about The Haiku Writing of Mexican and Canadian Children
• Lidia Rozmus & Charles Trumbull discussing Georgia O’Keeffe & the Haiku Aesthetic
• A short video, Moments in Time: Remembering the Santa Fe Japanese Internment Camp

Advisories about Visiting Santa Fe

Most folks who have not visited Santa Fe expect the weather to be like Tucson’s — i.e., hot, dry desert. In fact, our climate is more like Boulder’s — cool, dry mountains. 

The following advisories for first-time visitors are excerpted from Tourism Santa Fe’s website and should be taken very seriously, especially the effects of our altitude!

Take it easy. Santa Fe’s high altitude (7,000 feet [2134 metres] above sea level) means air is rarefied, thinner. It usually takes about 48 hours to adjust, and staying hydrated helps.
Watch your alcohol intake. One drink is the equivalent of three at sea level.
Seniors: Check with your doctor regarding any physical condition that could be affected by Santa Fe’s high altitude.
Use sunscreen and wear a hat. There are no beaches, but Santa Fe is closer to the sun, and the sun shines 300 days of the year.
Santa Fe’s climate is dry, with sometimes less than 20 percent humidity. Nights and early mornings are cool….
Average temperatures in September are High = 78°F (25.5°C), and Low = 48°F (9°C).

Revisions to the Kaleidoscope Readings

If a tree falls in the forest, is HNA responsible? A case could be made, as more and more poet/authors are publishing new books and coming forward to read their new books at the Kaleidoscope readings. Below is a revised version of the guidelines that has been posted on the HNA website at 

Kaleidoscope—New Book Launches & Readings
(revised July 24, 2017)

Kaleidoscope is a series of readings of new books of haiku that will demonstrate the breadth and diversity of the haiku community in North America.

Three sessions will be held, in the after-dinner hours, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings.

The Kaleidoscope readings will be open to the public and will be advertised in local media. 

Presenters will have the opportunity to place their books for sale during the HNA 2017 Book Fair. The Book Fair will be open to all during the Kaleidoscope readings. See the Book Fair guidelines here.

This is proving a very attractive program activity among poets, and we’ll have lots of readers to pack into a limited time, so we will have to adhere to the following guidelines with some rigor:

•    Eligible for inclusion in the readings are books of or about haiku that have been published since the previous Haiku North America conference (fall 2015).

•    We expect readers to be the author, editor, or publisher’s representative. The reader must be registered to attend HNA.

•    Each reader will be limited to 10 minutes. You should expect to be ruthlessly cut off in mid-haiku if you run overtime. We strongly urge you to time your presentation beforehand to be sure you can get through it in the time allotted.

•    You may use your time as you wish: read your poems once or twice, introduce the book, comment on the haiku, incite catcalls from the audience — all OK. But you have 10 minutes.

•    We will have microphones and a digital projector available. If you want to make a slide-show or PowerPoint presentation, it would be great if you could make it available to us in digital form in advance, so we can minimize scheduling, computer compatibility, and AV problems.

•    If you are planning to read, but certain times are not possible for you, be sure to let us know.

As of late July, the following readings are scheduled:

KALEIDOSCOPE: NEW BOOK LAUNCHES & READINGS
