The Blog is Back!
In the early days of The Haiku Foundation, before the forums, there was only one place to go to talk, to listen, to learn, to connect: Troutswirl, the THF blog. And we know you've missed it these last few months. So we're very happy to announce Troutswirl is back, in the capable hands of Gene Myers. Gene is a practiced hand in a variety of social media, and is especially known for his probing interviews of musicians and other contemporary culture mavens. You can find some of his work here. Introduce yourself to Gene, start a conversation, and see where you might travel on Troutswirl. Welcome back! Go to Troutswirl »
