Author: Richard Straw

Richard S. Straw edits technical documents and lives in Cary, North Carolina. He has read, collected, and tried to write haiku, senryu, and haibun since 1966. In the late 1980s, he was the first editor of Pine Needles, the North Carolina Haiku Society's newsletter, which has ceased publication. In 1988, he wrote late afternoon bum, a trifold Haiku Canada Sheet. In 2001, he self-published A Hiker Sees His Shadow, an eight-page chapbook in memory of his father, Walter H. Straw, who died on April 9, 2001. Selections of published haiku available here, courtesy of Dave Russo of the North Carolina Haiku Society; e-mail: rss at nc.rr.com.
