Bio Sketch
Peggy Heinrich's haiku have appeared in almost every haiku journal both nationally and internationally and in many anthologies. Awards include Top Prize in the Yamadera Basho Memorial Museum English Haiku Contest in both 2009 and 2010. Peeling an Orange, a collection of her haiku with photographs by John Bolivar, was published in 2009 by Modern English Tanka Press. Forward Moving Shadows, a collection of her tanka, with photographs by John Bolivar, was published in 2012.
There is a fresh and effective link-and-shift relationship between the two parts (September "wind" vs from the row of evergreens/a "gust" of "sparrows") of the haiku, which is infused with vivid, concrete imagery.
