Acknowledgements This anthology project would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance and the love of haiku from all the poets gathered herein who have helped to establish the English language haiku tradition and move the genre forward. I am grateful for their contribution. And I would also like to thank my family. Without them, there would be neither me nor this anthology.
