Join the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society

If you have been a dues-paying member of YTHS and need to determine your current status, contact Jeannie Rueter, Membership Coordinator, at (yths.jeannier@yahoo.com).
Membership in the society gives you a world of haiku practice and appreciation:

  • Members receive Geppo, the quarterly work-study journal. Members can receive Geppo as: (1) PDF only, (2) print only, or (3) both PDF and print. Please indicate your preference on your membership form as shown below. Members who do not specify a preference will receive the print version.
  • A member may submit up to 4 (four) haiku for each issue of Geppo, which are published as submitted, but without the member’s name. Members are encouraged to vote for up to 10 (ten) commendable haiku from the previous issue. In this way writers can learn by studying the work of others and by the response to their own work. Haiku earning the most votes are reprinted in the next Geppo with the author’s name.
  • Members have the privilege of posting up to ten haiku and up to five haiga on the Yuki Teikei website.
  • Members meet once a month except in August, in various locations usually in or within driving distance of San Jose, California, to write haiku and celebrate the haiku life. The meetings are often held at facilities with beautiful settings. Programs for the meetings feature the fascinating literature, history, and world of haiku and associated arts.
  • A Members’ Anthology is published annually.  Members may submit haiku from their previous year’s work. Each member receives a copy of the Anthology. YTHS publications from previous years are also available for purchase.
  • An annual Haiku Retreat is held each Fall on Zoom or at the Asilomar Conference Center, on the seacoast of the Monterey Peninsula.
  • Society membership dues are for a calendar year and are due on January 1st. Members who renew late will receive PDF versions of any back issues of Geppo for the calendar year.
  • Bylaws of the Society are provided here.
