Bio Sketch
Dietmar
Tauchner, born in 1972 in Austria, lives & works in Puchberg &
Vienna, as a social-worker / counselor, author and lover. His work has
been published in various magazines & anthologies worldwide. He
received some awards, as the Taisho (Grand Prize) at the International
Kusamakura Haiku Competition in Kumamoto, Japan, in 2013; and received
the Second Place for Noise of Our Origin (Red Moon Press, Winchester, 2013) at the 2014 HSA Mildred Kanterman Merit Book Awards
The quick pace of a one-liner works well to convey the transient moment of last light tinted with the scent of lilac, and Dietmar's use of blank space successfully slows down the pace to create the lingering effects of lilac fragrance on the reader's mood and emotions.
