Jessica will be the Resident Cartoonist at HNA 2017 and will present her retrospective of the Conference, “Old Pond Comics: Flowers and Skulls,” on Sunday morning. She is also slated to participate in the panel discussion, “Haïjins & Haïkus in French-Canada: Beginnings & Trends,” after lunch on Saturday.

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 [email protected]
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.
