Bio Sketch

Jo Balistreri began writing haiku in 2014.  She has two books of poetry published by Bellowing Ark Press and two chapbooks by Tiger's Eye Press and is grateful, but she has found her happiness with the haiku community. They have been generous with hospitality, encouragement and time. Jo sees haiku as a way of life she wants to live within.

  1. A delicious moment is keenly captured in this imagistic haiku bookmarked by evocative olfactory imagery.
