THE HAIKU FOUNDATION

http://www.thehaikufoundation.org

Dear Friends:

The Haiku Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to
archive the accomplishments of the first century of haiku in English
and to create greater opportunities for its second, was chartered in
the state of Virginia, USA, on 6 January 2009.  It is a volunteer
organization primarily designed to create and implement projects
centered around haiku.  Most haiku organizations have privileged the
poet and her needs:  education, publication, socialization.  The Haiku
Foundation instead seeks to foster the growth of haiku itself.  This
is where poets come when they want to give back.

We are pleased to announce the public unveiling of our website.  We
hope you will visit it often and with pleasure.  Please tell us how it
serves you, and how it might serve you in the future.  And most of
all, we welcome your participation.  Please join us to help us realize
our goals.

The Foundation appears to invite participation by a wide diversity of
poets.  And, it's web-site includes various examples by Marijan
Cekolj, David Cobb, James W. Hackett, Jack Kerouac, Ezra Pound, and
Richard Wright among other unexpected authors of haiku.

In minimum,
