Tom Clausen grew up and continues to live in Ithaca, New York, a centrally isolated, "gorges" upstate college town situated at the south end of one of the Finger Lakes; Cayuga. Tom works in a library at Cornell University which he attended 1969-1973. Before settling into the responsibilities of home ownership, marriage and parenthood Tom spent a wanderlust decade adventuring around Central and North America by bicycle, bus, canoe, trains, cars and by foot. Lifelong love of writing naturally turned to brevity when parenting duties left Tom with limited time to himself. Tom values the concision, portability and celebration of the poetic in the ordinary that haiku features. Tom has self-published three little chapbooks; Autumn Wind In the Cracks (1994), Unraked Leaves ( 1995) and Standing Here (1998). A collection of his tanka, A Work of Love, was published by Tiny Poems Press in 1997. These four are out of print, but his most recent collection, Homework (2000), featuring haiku, tanka and senryu is available from Snapshot Press. haiku: "morning fog" - previously unpublished haiku (in editors' picks I-1): "spring frost" - haijinx volume I, issue 1 haiku: "spring frost" - previously unpublished
