Author Description

Editing bear creek haiku is, with every issue, an immersion in the archetype, the paradigm, of all poetry. It is impossible to include the poems from well over one hundred issues of bear creek haiku in this anthology, but, the poets, biographies and poems herein, paraphrasing Galway Kinnell, symbolize the dream of all poetics and the blessing of all poems, an immersion in the Poetic Grail, the holy grail of tenderness toward, for, and with, all of existence.
