cattails is the journal for the United Haiku and Tanka Society, an organization whose philosophy is

“to be the most substantial, and best national and internationally compatible haiku, tanka, and related forms society to-date. Our mission is to cultivate insight, and comprehension through the reading and writing of these genre in both English, and global native languages for the true purpose of unifying a world-wide network of like-minded peoples as an “alternative” to any other US society.”
