Welcome to Haiku NewZ, a web newsletter and resource for haiku poets and enthusiasts based in New Zealand and around the world. Our primary purpose is to:

• Provide a space for connection and education for haiku poets and haiku enthusiasts
• Promote haiku competitions, events and publication opportunities
• Publish and share haiku, articles and insights of poets and enthusiasts.

We operate under the umbrella of the New Zealand Poetry Society, who generously hosts our website content for free. We encourage you to join the Society as it would be a small repayment for the hosting and support we receive out of kindness. For those within New Zealand, your membership fees are tax deductible, as is any donation you make over the top of the annual subscription. Read more about joining and membership benefits here, including how to join if you live outside New Zealand.
