Bio Sketch
Larry Kimmel lives quietly in the hills of western Massachusetts. His most recent books are shards and dust (cherita), outer edges (tanka) and thunder and apple blossoms (haiku).
Within an extremely short space of 8 words and 13 syllables, Larry's one-sentence minimalist tanka leaves enough dreaming room for the reader to ponder the question of "small/arithmetic of coins," the context/setting of which can be set by the reader's lived experience/imagination.
