As we ring in the new year, new Haikupedia articles anticipate material of interest on many fronts during 2024. We start with the short bio of New Zealand poet Jenny Fraser<\/a>. A number of articles detailing prestigious contests will whet your appetite to learn more about the competitive side of short-form poetry, including these American Awards: the Haiku Society of America’s Harold G. Henderson Haiku Awards (1976- )<\/a>, Haiku Northwest’s Francine Porad Award (2004- )<\/a>, and The Haiku Foundation’s Touchstone Distinguished Book Awards (2010- )<\/a>; as well as the Romanian Sharpening the Green Pencil Haiku Contest (2012- )<\/a>; and the Japan-based Morioka International Haiku Contest, English Section (2019- )<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We welcome your feedback and involvement. If you have suggestions, comments, or note any errors, please contact the editors using the Haikupedia Contact Box<\/a>. We look forward to reading your reactions to and ideas for this important project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
