Bio Sketch
Robert
Epstein, a psychologist and haiku poet/anthologist, lives and works in
the San Francisco Bay Area. He has edited four anthologies: The Breath of Surrender; Dreams Wander On; The Temple Bell Stops; and Now This. He has written two books of haiku: A Walk Around Spring Lake; and Checkout Time is Noon, as well as a chapbook titled, What My Niece Said in His Head: Haiku and Senryu
The contrast (man-made sounds vs birdsong) between the two parts of the haiku is emotionally effective. And in contrast to the pleasant and joyful auditory image of robinsong, L2 brings a smile to readers.
