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 year’s anthology. The book contains more than a thousand haiku and senryu, and is dedicated to the memory of William J. Higginson. See also the Press Here page for this book.
