Bio Sketch
Nikolay Grankin lives in the South of Russia. He has been writing haiku for about ten years, two of them in English. His haiku have been published in some online and print journals in both Russian and English.
Enhanced by the cinematic "zoom-in" technique, the juxtaposition of morning prayer and sparkling dew is visually and emotionally effective.
