Haiku Festival Aotearoa: June 2012, an update
The organisers of the June 15-17 Haiku Festival Aotearoa in Tauranga, New Zealand would like to remind those planning to attend that registration for delegates intending to live in at the venue close at the end of this month.
A programme change has also been made – workshop tutor Tony Beyer has had to withdraw but his place has been taken by Beverley George, editor of Eucalypt, who will take a workshop on tanka. The programme also includes 2 master classes (for all participants) by Jim Kacian, an award-winning US poet and owner of Red Moon press.
Full information about the festival is available at the website,
