Head to Head Haiku :  wild poetry slam
meets mindful Japanese 
tea ceremony 

Head to Head Haiku (HHH) is a performance poetry form introduced to the Slam Poetry community by Daniel Ferri (as heard on NPR) more than a decade ago at the National Poetry Slam. Samantha Jane (aka Sam-R-I) learned  from the Head to Head Haiku guru and received the transmission to host and offers her own version of HHH for New England audiences and beyond.   Sam-R-I  hosted the Head to Head Haiku match at the Individual World Poetry Slam 2006 in Charlotte North Carolina. She is presently collaborating with Tazuo Yamaguchi, two time National HHH champion and author of Bishiki: 10 Years of Collected Haiku Insights, Essays, Rituals and Poems avaialbe at Amazon.com. For more information or to invite 
Samantha Sam-R-Ito host a Head to Head Haiku for your venue email her at slamajane-at-comcast.net 
"It's more than a slam, it's a ritual, with a sense of humor."
