The Growth of Haiku Northwest
This issue included the following announcement: “It was great to get together for our first NORTHWEST HAIKU MEETING, September ’88. Participants included Anne McKay, Beth Jankola, and Anna Vacar from British Columbia, local editors George Klacsanzky (Haiku Zasshi Zo) and Michael Kettner (Catalyst), and well-known poets Eve Triem, Sarah Singer, and Nixeon Civille Handy. On hand too, were friendly haiku enthusiasts. Each in turn read his or her own work. Those unable to attend were quite vocal about wíshing another meeting. So-o, Wednesday, January 11, 1989, 7:00, we’ll meet again at Bellevue Public Library. Renga writing. instruction and analysis of haiku will be part of the program in addition to readings. Do come.”
