Haiku Poet Word Search

When Kathryn Haydon was in grad school studying creativity, she stumbled into biomimicry which rekindled her interest in the prairie ecology of her beloved Midwestern plains. Her most recent poetry collection, Unsalted Blue Sunrise, was written during a year’s worth of walks to the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan. These short poems inspired her to learn the craft of an even shorter form: haiku. Now she can imperfectly use this perfect mode to express her observations of the nature around her, from earth to water to you.

Kathryn is the poet-in-residence at Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods and is about to release her seventh book in the 21st century version of Charles Dickens’ serial approach: on Substack.
