Haiku Greetings!
Passing along information for what is sure to be a spectacular, refreshing weekend - a haiku fest in Alabama at the end of September! The workshop is sponsored by the Haiku Society of America (HSA), Southeast Region.
I have a couple of family events that weekend that conflict, so I won't be able to make this one. But it sounds wonderful. Here's the info:
