Featuring Charlotte Digregorio
The 27th Haiku Society of America’s South Regional Conference will be held Fri. – Sat., Nov. 10 – 11, at the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, 9 AM – Noon and 2 PM – 5 PM, both days. The Arkansas Haiku Society provides this free event to encourage appreciation for this centuries-old Japanese poetic tradition often now with American influences. These impressions about nature and human nature catch beauty, feelings, quirks, etc. with the fewest words necessary.
