Living on the South coast of NSW, Australia, Carole Harrison has published haiku and tanka in local and overseas anthologies and journals since 2010. She has won some haiku awards and really enjoys friendships with poets from around the world.

Since being introduced to haiku in 2004 by the Japan Society of Auckland, Sue has loved this tiny poetic form.  A retired IT professional, geology technician and wine writer, her current interests include photography, birds, nature walks, mountains, heavenly bodies and of course reading and writing haiku. s-sense.nz is her website.

Carol lives in Bangor NSW and was introduced to haiku in 2011. A lifetime love of poetry, nature and the written word seemed a perfect fit. Writing haiku has opened her eyes to the wider Japanese poetry genre and allowed connection to a global community of followers.
