Bio Sketch
Robert
Epstein, a psychologist and haiku poet/anthologist, lives and works in
the San Francisco Bay Area. He has edited four anthologies: The Breath of Surrender; Dreams Wander On; The Temple Bell Stops; and Now This. He has written two books of haiku: A Walk Around Spring Lake; and Checkout Time is Noon, as well as a chapbook titled, What My Niece Said in His Head: Haiku and Senryu.
A moment is keenly captured in this one-line haiku, which has a koan-like quality. And Robert's use of the symbolically and religiously rich fruit, acorn, is thematically effective.
