\"pickup\" Today, we are pleased to add haiku poet and editor <\/font><\/font>Billie Wilson<\/font><\/a> to our roster of<\/font>
\nHonored Guests. A semi-retired paralegal (who claims to love lawyers), Billie’s haiku are <\/font>
\nfilled with the scenes and sense(s) of Alaska, her adopted home. You can learn more about<\/font>
\nBillie and see examples of her work at her <\/font>WorldHaiku webpage<\/font><\/a>, and at the <\/font>Alaska Haiku Society<\/font><\/a>
\nwebsite, which she has created with Cindy Zackowitz. <\/font><\/p>\n

Billie was featured in New Resonance 3: Emerging Voices<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/font> <\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/a><\/font>in English-Language Haiku<\/em><\/font><\/font> <\/font>(Edited <\/font><\/font>
\nby Jim Kacian <\/font>and <\/font>Dee Evetts<\/font>, <\/font>Red Moon Press, <\/font>2003)<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

She says, “I’ve been writing haiku-shaped poems since the late 1960s and learned only a few years <\/font>
\nago that <\/font>I had almost as much to unlearn as to learn about real haiku.” I think you’ll see that Billie<\/font><\/font>
\nis a quick learner. We’re grateful that Billie Wilson is now gracing this website.<\/font><\/p>\n
