Bibliography

American Haiku was the first periodical publication outside Japan devoted entirely to haiku and senryu and it was a landmark in the development of haiku in English. Under the general editorship of James Bull, Donald Eulert, and Clement Hoyt, and with contributions from many other leading poets, the pocket-sized magazine was launched in Platteville, Wisconsin, in late 1963 and published twice a year until May 1968. American Haiku featured many of the top American haiku poets, and the short essays and reviews set the standards for English-language haiku scholarship and criticism for years to come.

Haiku North America is a series of conferences held every two years at venues around North America. Growing steadily since the first gathering in 1991, Haiku North America events have attracted more than 200 attendees in recent years, including poets and scholars from four countries in North America, Japan, Australia, and several European nations. HNA is believed to be the largest and most diverse conferences outside Japan devoted to haiku and related forms.

Haiku Canada established this biennial competition in 2020 in memory of Marianne Bluger (1945–2005), past member and officer of the society. The contest is open to Canadian and non-Canadian members of Haiku Canada. Two categories are recognized: the best book in English and the best chapbook in English.

Haiku Canada established this biennial competition in 2021 in honor of André Duhaime, a pioneer of francophone haiku in Canada. The contest is open to French-speaking or bilingual members of Haiku Canada. Two categories are recognized: the best book in French and the best chapbook in French, although the inaugural contest awarded prizes only to books. (Note: this Haikupedia article is in French.)

Every year since 2010 the Touchstone Distinguished Book Awards have been bestowed by The Haiku Foundation on published collections of poems or works of scholarship that represent noteworthy contributions to English-language haiku.
