Bio Sketch
Nika is the pen name of retired educator Dr. Jim Force. He currently writes with The Heron’s Quill
in Victoria where he is a member of Haiku Arbutus. His haiku have been
widely published in journals and anthologies. He is particularly
interested in creating collaborative haiga and linked verse.
Combined with this visually and emotionally evocative phrase, "deep into the night," the poignant juxtaposition of "stillborn calf" and "coyotes" sparks the reader's reflection on a dialectic of life and death.
