#Haiku Happenings #6: Alexis Rotella’s book of #haibun, “Scratches on the Moon,” wins a Touchstone award!
I was informed yesterday that my latest book Scratches on the Moon (Jade Mountain Press) won a Touchstone Book Award (2019). I was happy to learn that it was on the short list with 19 others but totally blown away to learn that it was chosen (among six others and two honorable mentions) to be so recognized. Deep bow to the judges! And to Jim Kacian of Red Moon Press who sponsors these annual awards!
Earlier in the week Giulia Biatta let me know that my entry into All Colors of the World Competition was chosen to be featured in an exhibit in Cagliari, Sardinia. I am grateful to the distinguished judges who took on an impossible task. Proud to be in such good company.
Just as a bit of icing on the cake, my latest floral Ranunculus made the Facebook banner for NEM Green.
