Author Description

Jan Bostok has been the spirit of haiku and senryn in English in the southern hemisphere for over thirty years. Since I have known and admired Jan's efforts almost from the beginnings. I thought I knew something of her work. However, this omnibus collection brings to light more than I knew, by far, and I rejoice to have it now before me. With publication of Amongst the Graffiti, Jan takes her place among the truly outstanding creators of world haiku. William J Higginson, author, The Haiku Seasons, Haiku World, The haiku Handbook, USA....her poetry streams off the surface and you inhale it. Alan Summers, editor, Haijinx, UK. This book will surely set the benchmark for haiku publications and be the definitive source for study of haiku in Australia. John Bird, editor: HaikuOz, Australia.
