HNA Anthologies
One highlight of each Haiku North America conference has been the publication of an anthology of haiku and senryu by conference attendees. At each conference, many attendees enjoy getting their anthologies signed by other attendees. These anthologies have contained at least one haiku from every conference registrant who submitted a selection of previously unpublished poems by a deadline shortly before each event. In the anthologies, not everyone who attended submitted, but each anthology does represent the majority of each conference’s attendees. Since the beginning in 1991, each anthology has been published by Press Here, and edited by Michael Dylan Welch, usually in conjunction with a coeditor from the region where each conference has been held.
The following links present information about each book and lead to links that present their introductions and selected haiku and senryu, representing some of each conference’s best poems as well as notable contributors.
If you register for the next HNA conference and submit your poems by the announced deadline, you are guaranteed inclusion in the next HNA anthology.
