Kaleidoscope:
New Book Launches & Readings
Revised September 12, 2017
New Book Launches & Readings
Revised September 12, 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. 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.
