Haiku Northwest, the Washington State region of the Haiku Society
of America, celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary with "No Longer
Strangers," a wide-ranging anthology of haiku, senryu, and haibun
by 78 contributors from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and British
Columbia. Also included are poems by deceased members as well as
Connie Hutchison's engaging history of the organization and its
many contributions to poetry in the great Pacific Northwest. "I'm
intrigued by the thought of which one haiku I would choose to be
remembered by. Over twelve hundred of my poems have been published.
Would I want it to be humorous? Serious? Dealing with nature or
human beings? About travel, art, the computer world? All of us are
multidimensional beings. I have somewhat decided on one. It's a
haiku you may have heard." poolside, we chat about reincarnation;
no longer strangers -Francine Porad, "A Personal Journey to Haiku"
"This collection, celebrating the first quarter century of Haiku
Northwest, introduces readers to a thriving community of poets who
sense the connection between fresh gingerbread and a sister's
coming-out letter, who honor the soggy meaning of Raggedy Ann
afloat at ebbtide, who gaze from atop the Space Needle to share
'how it feels / to spot a whale.' In the pages of this anthology
readers become acquainted with a Northwest gathering of artists
eager to share their deepest insights, perceptions, memories, and
yearnings . . . no longer strangers." -David G. Lanoue, President,
