Bio Sketch
Leslie Bamford is a published writer of short stories, poems and plays, and teacher of creative writing and memoir. She lives in Ontario, Canada. After retirement, she fell in love with writing tanka, often composing in her head while walking her dog and taking photographs.
Leslie's tanka effectively builds, line by line, to a visually and emotionally poignant shift (from the lifeworld to the mental space) in L5 that reveals the theme of a relationship breakup.
