Ross Clark (karasu) is poet and haijin, fictionist and teacher, editor and performer. He came to haiku with the JAL children's haiku contest held in conjunction with Expo 88 in his hometown, Brisbane, Australia. Since then his haiku have been published in journals around the world, in his own two volumes (and they often sneak into his volumes of lyric poetry, like ants at the big guys' picnic), and on a number of websites, including tinywords.com. Ross is one of the founder-editors of the Australian-based international haiku journal Paper Wasp. Ross has soaked his akubra (hat) in the mogami river, and every time he becomes aware of his tinnitus, he thinks of basho's cicadas and enjoys its song. Ross's 1st haiku collection Local Seasonings (Sweetwater Press, Brisbane, 1993) has sold out. His next volume At The Turn Of The Seasons is due from the same press late this year.
