Bio Sketch
Jan
Dobb lives in Canberra, Australia. She has published three family
history narratives, and her short stories have had some success in
publication and competition. Since 2010 however Jan has been captivated
by the magic of haiku.
Combined with the use of personification, Jan's bird haiku builds, line by line, to a visually and emotionally effective ending -- two rosellas, the well-socialized, hand-tamed birds with vibrant colors often treated as sociable companions.
