Bio Sketch
Nikolay Grankin was born in 1964 in Tuapse, Russia; he now lives in Krasnodar in the south of Russia. He is keen on learning English and writing haiku. He has been writing haiku for about eleven years, three of which were spent writing haiku in English. His haiku have appeared in online and print journals in both Russian and English. His haiku has won several awards in several haiku contests.
Infused with symbolically contrasting ("school" and "cemetery") and visually and emotionally evocative ("river") imagery of Ls 2&3, a pastoral scene ofL1 is vividly and richly depicted in this shasei (sketch from life) haiku.
