Haiku Society of America, Merit Book Awards, 2021

Thrilled to have received an Honourable Mention in the Haiku Society of America Merit Book Awards for 2021 (for books published in 2020) for The Language of Loss: Haiku & Tanka Conversations (Sable Books 2020).


My thanks to judges Ce Rosenow and Bryan Rickert for their lovely comments:

"True to its name, The Language of Loss explores the many facets of loss and survival using both haiku and tanka. One haiku and one tanka are paired beautifully on every page. Never predictable and always revealing, this book delivers consistent quality from start to finish."

This book was also the winner of the 2019 Sable Books International Women's Haiku Book Contest, judged by Roberta Beary, esteemed author of The Unworn Necklace and Deflection.
