Bio Sketch
Joan
Prefontaine lives near Cottonwood, Arizona. She has been writing poetry
for many years and began focusing on haiku in 2012. Some of her poems
have been set to music by contemporary composers. She teaches Lifelong
Learning classes at Yavapai College.
Thematically speaking, two different kinds of sizzling hotness are vividly depicted, and technically speaking, "roasting chilies" in L3 effectively provides a scent link (in Basho's sense of the phrase) to L1.
