Bio Sketch
Fay
Aoyagi （青柳飛）was born in Tokyo and immigrated to the U.S. in 1982. She
is currently a member of Haiku Society of America and Haiku Poets of
Northern California. She serves as an associate editor of The Heron's Nest.
She also writes in Japanese and belongs to two Japanese haiku groups;
Ten'I (天為) and "Aki"（秋), and she is a member of Haijin Kyokai (俳人協会).
Fay employs the technique of "concrete foreshadowing" (also known as "Chekov's gun") in L1 to explicitly state something (not knowing "what he meant," L3) that she wants the reader to be aware of for the future (a crack in the relationship).
