Growing up first in the Seaford Beach/Kananook Creek area and then in Cann River, Croajingolong country, East Gippsland, formed Lorin's sense of belonging to the natural world. Lorin began writing haiku in 2004. She served on the judging panel for the Haiku Dreaming Awards (2009), on the The Haiku Foundation's Touchstone Books Awards Panel (2010, 2011 and 2012) and was co-judge with Lee Gurga for the H.S.A.'s 2018 Henderson Haiku Awards. Lorin was haiku editor for the first nine (quarterly) issues of Notes From the Gean (2009 - 2011) and subsequently publisher of A Hundred Gourds (2011 - 2016) where she served as haiku editor, features editor, managing editor and in other editorial roles. In 2014 she founded the 'Red Kelpie Haiku Group' (Melbourne, Australia), convening four meetings each year until the group broke up subsequent to its twentieth meeting in June 2019. Over the years, Lorin's haiku have received awards and been included in excellent anthologies. Books Published: 'a wattle seedpod' (Post Pressed, Teneriffe, Qld, Australia, 2008); e-chapbooks: 'what light there is' (3Lights Gallery, 2009) and 'A Few Quick Brushstrokes', a winner of the Snapshot Press e-chapbook competition, 2011. All three publications are available online, free of charge. View all posts by Lorin Ford
Very striking, Lorin!
What's at the edges, what's just under the surface. A poem about the peripheral, that opportunistic reef shark, its non-stop motion patrolling for weakness. Well done.
I keep returning to this (circling back to it like a shark???). It is haunting and profound.
I am so grateful for this post and thanks so very much for sharing it with us.
Yes i do!

unusual in a good way, this poem speaks volumes.
Ah yes, we have our dependencies starting with first breath and ending with the last one.

Excellent share, this is a really quality post. In underlying objects theory I’d like to write like this too. Taking time and real effort to make a good article
Great image! Thank you for this pic
