Glimmering Hour

Haiku Northwest 35th Anniversary Anthology

Haiku Northwest celebrates its 35th anniversary with Glimmering Hour, an anthology of 202 haiku and senryu by 79 contributors, including a memorial section featuring 11 deceased members. Connie Hutchison provides an essay on Francine Porad, Haiku Northwest’s founder, and Sheila Sondik enhances all the poems with numerous sumi paintings on crinkled paper. This anthology focuses on the decade of 2014 to 2024, building on our 25th anniversary anthology, No Longer Strangers, published in 2014.

Connie Hutchison, C.R. Manley, Susan Roberts, R. J. Swanson, and Michael Dylan Welch served as editors. C.R. Manley did the layout/design and production. Please read below for more information about the book, including contents, sample poems, and other material.
