Haiku and senryu by attendees attending the 2015 HNA Conference will be edited by Michael Dylan Welch and Scott Mason, and selected poems will be included in a special 25th anniversary anthology that celebrates all previous conference anthologies. Each registered attendee will receive one free copy of this anthology (you may order extra copies when you register). As with previous anthologies, this year's collection will seek to represent as many conference participants and presenters as possible. You must be a registered conference attendee to have your work included. If you are attending HNA 2015, please send five unpublished haiku or senryu (on any theme, and not less than five poems) to [email protected] by the deadline of August 15, 2015.

All conference attendees who submit by the in-hand deadline will be guaranteed to have one poem selected for the anthology (after the deadline, the editors will try to include as many later registrants as possible, but cannot guarantee inclusion). Please don't hesitate to send work even after the August 15 guaranteed-inclusion deadline.  Submitted poems must be pasted into the body of the email message (no attached files). With your five unpublished poems, please include your name as you want it to appear in the anthology, and the city/state, city/province, or city/country where you live (we include this information with each name).

Email five unpublished haiku/senryu in your submission to [email protected].

Michael Dylan Welch
is a poet, editor, and publisher, and is currently serving as poet laureate of Redmond, Washington, where he also curates two poetry reading series. In 1991 he cofounded Haiku North America, and has edited all thirteen HNA conference anthologies, published with his press, Press Here.  In 1996 he cofounded the American Haiku Archives, and in 2000 he founded the Tanka Society of America, serving as its president for five years. For many years he has been first vice president of the Haiku Society of America, and in 2010 he founded National Haiku Writing Month (www.nahaiwrimo.com). His poems have won first place in numerous contests (including the Henderson, Brady, Tokutomi, and Drevniok contests), and have appeared in hundreds of journals and anthologies in at least twenty languages. Michael's latest book is True Colour, a collection of solo rengay. His website, which features hundreds of haiku essays, reviews, and poems, is www.graceguts.com.

Scott Mason began writing haiku in 2001 and in the years since then his poems have received or shared the top honor in seventeen international competitions including the Harold G. Henderson, British Haiku Society, Betty Drevniok, Haiku International Association, Kusamakura, Mainichi, and Robert Speiss awards. One of his senryu also won the Haiku Society of America Gerald Brady Award.  Scott edited codesigned, and produced the HSA's 2010 members' anthology Sharing the Sun, featuring specific plant- and animal-themed haiku in recognition of the United Nations' "International Year of Biodiversity." In November of 2014, he was an artist-in-residence at the Studios of Key West in recognition of his first place finish in the Robert Frost haiku competition. Since 2011, Scott has served as an associate editor with the online and print journal The Heron's Nest.
