Editor Bio: Kimberly Kuchar often writes while her pet cockatiel is relaxing on her shoulder. This year she's a Rhysling Award Finalist, she's in the Dwarf Stars Anthology, and she had a haiku displayed in Washington, DC, in the Golden Haiku Competition. Her work has appeared in The Heron's Nest, Frogpond, Wales Haiku Journal, tsuri-dōrō, and other publications. Kimberly lives near Austin with her husband and son (when he's home from college).
