Raymond Roseliep (born Raymond Francis Roseliep, August 11, 1917, Farley, Iowa, U.S.A.; died December 6, 1983, Dubuque, Iowa, U.S.A.) American Roman Catholic priest, professor emeritus of English, and a resident chaplain at Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa, as well as a critic, poet, and haiku poet. Roseliep pioneered what he called “American haiku,” which diverged from the models of the early translators of Japanese haiku such as R. H. Blyth and sought to reflect the haiku being written in English in the 1960s and 1970s.
