Fire in the Treetops — Contents
The following contents
appear in Fire in the Treetops, edited by Michael Dylan Welch. Poems are reprinted from each Haiku North America conference
anthology from 1991 up to 2015, with poems from 2015 being newly published. For each
year, an organizer of that year’s conference provides a brief essay appreciating one poem from that anthology. The book contains more than a thousand haiku and senryu, and is dedicated to
the memory of William J. Higginson.
