Autorenporträt
Lesley Tannen is a visual artist and avid reader of many genres, including poetry. Haiku has always interested her because of its ability to paint a complex view with few words. This book is an experiment in combining these two ways of capturing a moment. Lesley has always had an avid interest in the natural world, fed by a lifetime spent living in varied communities in B.C., doing many jobs, and meeting with successes and failures along the way. Lesley currently lives in Harrison Hot Springs.
