Hueston Woods Haiku Walk Call for Submissions

Submission Deadline: February 15, 2023

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 We invite both published and unpublished haiku.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.

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.

Haiku in Action Submissions

Haiku in Action is the poetry journal of the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association. We publish haiku and senryu on a weekly basis. Poems that are based off of our weekly prompts have a better chance of getting accepted. We don't believe in finger counting haiku, and encourage poems that are shorter than the traditional 5/7/5 form without having to be associated with nature. We prefer three-lined poems that are less than 17 syllables total. Poems are published weekly and we accept submissions on a rolling basis. We do not send out rejections. If your work is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email and your piece will be published on our site and on social media the next day.

Send us your haiku/senryu poems taken from the news of the week and observations of life. Whether snapshots from marches, quiet moments in quarantine or Zoom meeting frustrations, we want all your short poems anchored in the NOW. The best will be showcased weekly here and on all our social media platforms. ALL ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. Please submit a MAXIMUM of 3 haiku. Only one haiku per poet will be accepted. Reading closes the Monday of each week, with a posting every Thursday. Please refrain from racist, homophobic, sexist or other hate speech in submissions. The BEST of the best will be compiled into an anthology of haiku published by Nick Virgilio Haiku Association's imprint Upright Remington Press.

Well done to Scott Mason and all others mentioned.
