This study is an interim report on haiku poems written by Japanese immigrants while staying in WRA camps. It is highly likely that each camp had at least one active haiku coterie group which would have compiled a collection or anthology of haiku poems as a memento of their camp life, only six collections have been found. This report surveys eight collections, including two that were dedicated to the Nisei soldiers killed in action. After a brief description of each collection, some representative haiku poems are presented. Keywords:World War II, WRA Camps, Issei, Haiku
