Celebrate International Haiku Day at the Arlington

The Haiku Society of America will celebrate International Haiku Day (April 17) on Saturday, April 15 at the Arlington Hotel in the Board Room, from 10 AM to 4 PM. Visitors are welcome.  Lunch is your choice.

There will be haiku workshops, games, and readings. And possibly a nature walk for writing haiku. For information contact Howard Lee Kilby at hkilby@hotmail.com or call 501-767-6096.

Poets are also invited to attend the Hot Springs Haiku Club’s monthly meetings at Garland County Library the first Friday of every month from 2-4 PM, immediately before Gallery Walk. This is a small group of haiku poets who enjoy sharing ideas and composing short poems. The club was founded by the late Michael Murray following the 25th South Region Conference of the Haiku Society of America held at the Arlington Resort and Spa in the autumn of 2021.

Howard Lee Kilby, president of the Arkansas Haiku Society, is serving until a new president is installed. Visitors are welcome. For information about the club, email hkilby@hotmail.com  or call 501-767-6096. Visit www.hsa-haiku.org.
