Hueston Woods Haiku Walk
Call for Submissions
Haiku North America, in conjunction with Ohio State Parks, is sponsoring the permanent installation of a haiku walk at Hueston Woods State Park in College Corner, Ohio (near Cincinnati). Selected poems will be installed by June of 2023 along a newly designated haiku trail (on the site of the park's current Sycamore Trail), and we will celebrate the poems at the 2023 HNA conference and at an inauguration event at the park at the end of the conference.
Submissions are open to anyone who lives in North America, except for 2023 conference organizers, and the Haiku North America board of directors who will serve as selectors for this installation. We also welcome submissions from outside North America IF you will be attending the 2023 conference. We invite both published and unpublished haiku. All haiku should relate to the natural environment in various seasons of the year.
Submission deadline: February 15, 2023
Selectors: HNA Board (Garry Gay, Deborah P Kolodji, Paul Miller, Michael Dylan Welch).
Poems will be selected for their excellence as haiku and their suitability to specific locations on the proposed trail, with no more than one poem selected per person.
Please submit using the entry form. If you have any difficulty launching the form, please contact Deborah P Kolodji at [email protected].
