After Seabeck


After you bid farewell at Seabeck, your experience isn’t over. We encourage you to share your stories and photos on social media, and to make plans to come again next year! You’ll also be entitled to a free copy of our annual Seabeck Haiku Getaway anthology.

Retreat Anthology

A big hit for our previous retreats has been the publication of haiku collections to commemorate the weekend, including hand-sewn chapbooks. Our 2009 anthology, Seeing Stars, even won the “Best Anthology” award in 2010 in the Haiku Society of America’s Kanterman Book Awards (for books published in 2009). We’ll do another new anthology for our next retreat, collecting poems written or shared at the retreat, plus the winners from our annual kukai (haiku contest). One copy is free to each attendee and is mailed out after the retreat. Read a description of our 2009 retreat publications (shown here). To see selected past anthologies, visit Amazon (most of our past anthologies are not listed here, however, because they were limited-edition handmade publications).

Past Retreats

Seabeck has a rich history of past retreats, each with a guest speaker renowned in haiku circles. Read more about past retreats.
