American Haiku Archives Honorary Curator

Every year on July 12, the anniversary of the founding of the American Haiku Archives in 1996, the AHA advisory board appoints an honorary curator to serve a one-year term. This curatorship carries no responsibilities and offers no financial compensation, but seeks to honor prominent poets, scholars, and translators who have had a significant impact on haiku in North America. The following links provide short biographies, photos, bibliographies, and sample poems of honorary curators for the American Haiku Archives. See the Criteria for Appointing Honorary Curators.
