crushing
juniper berries between
our fingers
the scent of gin conjures
unwelcome memories


this world
is unsafe for innocents . . .
a crow
shakes its tail feathers
once, twice, three times

Haiku Canada: Marianne Bluger Awards, 2026

Thrilled to receive joint 1st Place in the 2026 Marianne Bluger Book Awards for Random Blue Sparks! My thanks to the judges.


Judging Commentary:

We were looking for haiku and related forms that ring true; a book or chapbook that demonstrates coherence and flow; and a book design that enhances the poet's work. A tall order, as all of these features work together to engage a reader.

—Terry Ann Carter and Philomene Kocher


Museum of Haiku Literature, Japan

I'm honoured to know that Masako Kakutani will introduce "Random Blue Sparks" to haiku poets in Japan who are interested in English-language haiku, and that Haijin Kyokai (Tokyo, Japan) will include my book in the Museum of Haiku Literature collection!

Cattails, April 2026

food insecurity
the empty throat pouch
of a nutcracker


fifth instar the nymph i once was


hospice window
the see-through skeletons
of by-the-wind sailors


shafts of light
flicker across the floor . . .
my kitten
never quite captures
her elusive enemy
