Aurora Antonovic, author, artist, poet, and Editor-in-Chief of the new literary journal, Magnapoets, visits Blogging Along Tobacco Road this week with her answers to Haiku – Three Questions:
1. Why do you write haiku?
I write haiku because I love poetry, and think that haiku's brevity is perfect for capturing and emphasizing the potency of topics such as love and death, the subjects I write about the most.
2. What other poetic forms do you enjoy?
I love tanka and sonnets the most at present.
3. Of the many wonderful haiku you've written, what do you consider to be your top three? (Please provide original publication credits.)
