In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Haiku Society of America (HSA), 1968 - 2018, the Befuddled Press is excited to announce a new series of “haiku-marks" - miniature broadsides that function as bookmarks, but are also suitable for framing.
In collaboration with the HSA the anniversary series features 12 different haiku-marks. Each of the poems is printed in an edition of 50 copies, on handmade laid paper that was crafted from golden flax fiber. Dimensions are 5.5 x 2.75 inches.
Each of the 12 poems was selected by HSA officers from previous winners of the Society’s Annual Harold G. Henderson Haiku Contest. All proceeds go to support the HSA.
Haiku-marks can be ordered from the HSA (ordering opens on 10/1 - contact Dianne Garcia for questions regarding orders). Prices: $10 per broadside, $50 for 6, or $100 for the set of 12 (shipping is included).
