Thanks Amie! I always have a hard time knowing if a given piece of my creative writing "works". I've gotten better at divorcing myself from outcomes, and just putting stuff out in the world or submitting to editors. But it is always electrifying when a reader feels something from something I created, especially when that person is such a great writer!
Thank you! Because I've been writing professionally much longer than I have been illustrating, I'm still unsure about my art. It means a lot to hear that the art in that last haiku really does work and I'm not completely delusional.
I enjoyed the deeper dive into how you create your haiku--I literally heard the sea. I’m a sucker for sea dogs; the last poem was my favorite, too!

I loved the last poem too, not only the poem but the art. It really captured the vision of a wave crashing through.
