Bio Sketch
Geethanjali
Rajan teaches Japanese and English in the city of Chennai, India. She
writes prose, opinion pieces, haiku, tanka, haibun and other forms of
poetry. Her writing can be found in various international journals
online and some, in print. She is currently the editor of haiku at

L1 sets the scene while the unexpected yet visually powerful last line makes an effective shift, thematic and emotional, lifting the haiku out of the ordinary.
