Akita International Haiku Network, 2025

Honoured to be included in the Haiku Beyond Earth Series, with five haiku selected from my chapbook "A Year Unfolding" (Folded Word, 2017) on March 17, 2025. I'm grateful to Hidenori Hiruta for translating these haiku into Japanese:

white bells

ringing the changes

lily of the valley

muddy jeans

the pasture speckled

with crocuses

in the hills

cattle lowing between

silences

wind gusts

a rotten burl full

of wild plums

in the pond

a white begonia

and old news
