Details
Presented by The Downtown Tucson Partnership (DTP) and the University of Arizona Poetry Center, the annual Haiku Hike literary competition showcases twenty winning haiku poems printed on acrylic signage in planters located along Congress Street and Stone Avenue. These signs provide visual and cultural interest throughout the season, beginning on the first day of spring and ending June 1. An urban poetry hike through downtown following the haiku trail is the perfect opportunity for the public to get reacquainted with all that Tucson’s urban center has to offer.
Haiku are chosen by Tucson's Poet Laureate, TC Tolbert. This year we received 2,069 total entries, 1,385 came from Tucson, 29 different states were represented, and 27 different countries were represented.
