Bio Note: I live, work and write in northern California with my husband and accidental husky Mijah. After publishing in small journals and editing the Turkey Buzzard Review in the 70’s and 80’s, I studied law and then became a campaign consultant for progressive candidates. The haiku, senryu and haibun forms have fascinated me in recent years. Some work has appeared in journals such as Gyroscope and MacQueen’s Quinterly.
