Robert Epstein sent this:
I am writing to invite you to submit poem(s) for a "death" poem anthology that I am editing. By death poems, I am referring to haiku or tanka that are written with awareness of one's own mortality (not someone else's), and which may reflect what Yoel Hoffmann, in JAPANESE DEATH POEMS, refers to as the essence of one's spiritual legacy (however you define that).
I would be most obliged if you would be willing to post the call for submissions. I'm thinking that it might help to post an example poem:
that's what
dandelions do . . .
blow away
-- Stanford M. Forrester, Poetalk
Thank you very much! And, I look forward to receiving a death poem... or more than one!
Warm regards,
Robert Epstein (taylorepstein@earthlink.net)

And finally, many of you probably saw the photo my daughter, Alana, took of me and last month's snowman, an event that turned into our first haiga collaboration. Alas, here are the remains of our beloved snowman, Billy Bobb, a name given to him by my very creative daughter.
