Bio Sketch
Matsukaze is a classical/operatic vocalist, thespian, and minister. He began writing haiku seriously around 2005, and tanka around 2006. He was recently re-introduced to tanka in 2013 by M. Kei, editor of Atlas Poetica: A Journal of Poetry of Place in Contemporary Tanka. He lives in Louisiana; dividing his time between there and Houston, TX.
Matsukaze skillfully uses the suspense technique through line breaks and the thematically and emotionally effectively typographical arrangement of a word (long) to convey the unbearable weight of the concluding word.
