About the Author

Gary Hotham has been crafting English language haiku for over 40 years. Echoing T.S. Eliot, for Hotham, writing haiku is to "devour any kind of experience" and fulfills the poet's "task of trying to find the verbal equivalents for states of mind and feeling." Born in Maine and currently living in Maryland, Hotham has enjoyed the pleasant experiences of traveling and living in foreign lands: Japan, Germany, England, Texas.
