 In 1966 Helen Stiles Chenoweth compiled "Borrowed Water", an early anthology of American haiku featuring the work by the Los Altos Roundtable.The experimental work of Beat and minority haiku poets expanded the popularity of haiku in English.Despite claims that haiku has not had much impact on the literary scene, a number of mainstream poets, such as W. H. Auden, Richard Wilbur, James Merrill, Etheridge Knight, William Stafford, W. S. Merwin, John Ashbery, Donald Hall, Ruth Stone, Sonia Sanchez, Billy Collins, (as well as Seamus Heaney, Wendy Cope, and Paul Muldoon in Ireland and Britain) and others have tried their hand at haiku.
