Author: Dyana Basist

Dyana Basist lives in Santa Cruz CA on Rodeo Gulch, a riparian corridor that inspires many of her lyric poems, haibun and haiku. Her haiku have been published in numerous journals and books. The theme of Dyana's new book, Coyote Wind, is her rollicking long-term love affair with Coyote, both the Mythic and the not-so mythic. It is available through elikpress.com or the author at openmesa@sbcglobal.net.
