One of my greatest joys in writing is weaving together the elements that make a successful haibun. I'm honored to have my work included alongside that of my haibun peers in the December 2025 issue of Drifting Sands Haibun. Please visit this link to read the issue.

Fascinating to read this Venezuelan poet during these turbulent times, and the ability to do so via X.

I don't know if anything was lost in the Spanish to English translation, but I enjoyed discovering the remarkable haiku and senryu of this poet's timeline.
