\u201cThe best poets working in haiku are responsive to the conditional aspects of reality, and their work is reflective of this awareness, in terms of form as well as content. The challenge, as always, is neither to innovate for innovation\u2019s sake, nor to constrain for tradition\u2019s sake, but to find exactly the right form, the right phrase, the right context, to express contemporary reality. So long as haiku remains responsive to these changing conditions, it will change and, in doing so, remain vital.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

This quote is from \u201cAn Overview of Haiku in English,\u201d by Jim Kacian, an essay from Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years<\/a><\/i> (2013, Page 374). Edited by Jim Kacian, Philip Rowland, Allan Burns. Introduction by Billy Collins. W. W. Norton & Company.<\/p>\n

WELCOME TO THE HAIKU FOUNDATION EDUCATION WALL. We are beginning our area for Higher Education with an introduction to the Board of Directors: Jim Kacian<\/a>, Mark Harris<\/a>, Stella Pierides<\/a>, Dave Russo<\/a>, and Billie Wilson<\/a>. The following selection of haiku from their Poet Pages on the Haiku Registry, which is edited by Billie Wilson, offers excellent examples of contemporary haiku.<\/p>\n
