Bio Sketch
Peggy Willis Lyles was born in Summerville, South Carolina, on September 17, 1939. She died in Tucker, Georgia on September 3, 2010. A former English professor, she was a leading haiku writer for over 30 years -- helping bring many readers and writers into the haiku community.
The contrast between the heaviness of the issue of human cloning and the lightness of snowflakes is thematically significant and visually and emotionally poignant. And on a second reading, L1 successfully carries symbolic significance.
