If you live in the St. Louis area and are interested in writing haiku, please join me for my quarterly Haiku Walk in Soulard. We have a new meeting point at the Soulard Station (1911 S. 12th) and will take a U-shaped route to the Soulard Market. Beginners welcome!

I’m managing my first issue of Frogpond. All personal accounts are on hiatus until this issue is done. I will still manage the HNA accounts as publicity volunteer.

I’m happy to stay connected via email, phone, WhatsApp, and Discord. If you need any of that info, message me in the next 48 hours.

Introduce yourself with four movies

Today I said farewell to this laptop. I wrote my MFA thesis and my first haiku collection on it. So much of the past 8 years has been documented in some way. I would have kept it longer but Word would not work on it anymore, and that software is non-negotiable. But I’m sad to see it go.

I’m so excited to have stumbled upon a copy of this rare little gem at The Second Reading bookstore in Alton, IL. The proprietor has an incredible haiku selection!

This week I learned just how expensive it is to get a customized industrial grade outdoor mat, but I am so happy with this. I keep my day job so all the money I make from the studio can be re-invested to build the business gradually. And little details like this matter to me.

@mistresscaution.bsky.social said I have achieved snow video perfection, so obviously now I’m going to share it with the internet.

Mark your calendars! The next Soulard Haiku Walk happens on Saturday, January 25th at 9:30 am. This event is free as well as beginner- and family-friendly. This quarter, I’ll teach about season words in haiku! #stlouis #soulard #haiku #senryu #poetry
