Bio Sketch
Hazel Hall is a widely published Australian poet and musicologist. Her haiku collections are Eggshell Sky (HD Press, 2017), Step by Step (Picaro Poets 2019) and Severed Web (Picaro Poets, 2020). She has also published a tanka collection Moonlight Over the Siding (Interactive Press, 2019).
The contrasts (domestic setting vs street scene; discomfort vs relaxation...) between the jet-lagged person in L1 and a street cat in Ls 2&3 are refresh and effective.
