Haiku Society of America The Haiku Society of America was founded in 1968 by Harold G. Henderson and Leroy Kanterman. Everyone interested in haiku is welcome to attend and contribute.

The Haiku Society of America is dedicated to supporting and encouraging English-language haiku, as well as supplying information related to haiku, senryu, haibun, haiga, renku, and other related Japanese poetic forms. We do that, among other avenues, by maintaining a dynamic Internet presence, which includes our official sites:

Website (https://www.hsa-haiku.org)

Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HaikuSocietyOfAmerica/)

Twitter (https://twitter.com/hsa_haiku, https://twitter.com/frogpondjournal)

Instagram (https://instagram.com/frogpondjournal/)

YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoWrz8ICDzS30J335UHj1Fg)

The purpose of these accounts is two-fold. First, they are used to disseminate information about haiku in general and the HSA in particular, to define what haiku is, to familiarize visitors with who is writing haiku, and to encourage involvement in the genre. Second, and equally important, is to create an atmosphere that encourages discussion and debate about haiku-related topics and a place where the various styles of haiku may be examined and evaluated. Tell your friends! That said, we must emphasize a few policies that apply to all of the HSA media accounts, including but not limited to the organization's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and other outlets. We do not permit the posting of information on other unrelated subjects. We prohibit the posting of any demonstratively false information, the harassment or bullying of the organization or individuals, and the use of profane language, pornographic materials, and excessive self-promotion. All such content will be removed promptly. The person(s) responsible for posting such content may be barred from further membership on the site(s). The views expressed by the individuals who post on these accounts do not necessarily represent the society's official policy or beliefs. We assume no responsibility for the truth or veracity of any of the statements posted.
