Carrie Etter grew up in Normal, Illinois, where she was introduced to haiku of the 5-7-5 variety in the fifth grade. In high school, she wrote poetry and read literary journals at the local university library, Milner Library of Illinois State University, and there she found Modern Haiku. Reintroduced to haiku and newly introduced to senryu as a senior, Carrie began writing and publishing haiku in earnest. The year after her high school graduation, Carrie moved to southern California and lived there—though in a wide variety of locations—for the next thirteen years, writing and publishing haiku irregularly as school and work permitted. In August she moved to London with her husband, Jason McKenzie Alexander, and presently she is completing her dissertation in Victorian literature for the University of California, Irvine. Carrie has had work selected for The Red Moon Anthology 1997. She has been working on a collection of her haiku and senryu, titled The Broken Kite. Previous credits include: Modern Haiku, Frogpond, Mainichi Daily News, Haiku Quarterly, still, black bough, and others.
