About
The Uist Haiku Project
Uist Haiku is a collection of short poems (“haiku”) and accompanying images (“haiga”), focused on life in Uist.
The poems and associated images will be made available through the UAA website and social media. We will also produce at least one printed booklet of poems and images
The project is managed by the Uist Writers Group and the Uist Arts Association. The project will initially run for a year, beginning in April 2021,

You can submit poems, images or both. You can submit the text of the poem as part of the image or keep text and image separate. Be creative!
Poems can be on any topic as long as the reflect on some aspect of life in Uist All must be your own work, or submitted on behalf of the owner. Poems may be in English or Gaelic.
