Bio Sketch
Michael
Dylan Welch is vice president of the Haiku Society of America, founder
of the Tanka Society of America (2000), and cofounder of Haiku North
America conference (1991) and the American Haiku Archives (1996). In
2010 he also started National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo),
which takes place every February, with an active Facebook page. His
personal website is www.graceguts.com, which features hundreds of
essays, reviews, reports, and other content, including examples of his
published poetry.
Juxtaposed with the image of messy hands, Michael's well-chosen verb makes this meta-poem about writing effective as a haiku with an aesthetic focus on the "hai."
