The Haiku Foundation
Mission Statement
The impetus behind The Haiku Foundation was the
realization that English-language haiku had done a poor job of promoting
itself in two important venues: in gathering, interpreting, honoring
and making available its comprehensive history, and in reaching beyond a
coterie audience to establish its importance as a literary vehicle in
the present and future. As a result, THF has two primary missions:
1) to archive our first century of English-language haiku; and
2) to expand possibilities for our second.
