The Haiku Way

Is that your face I
see? Or an old map of travels
we took, each alone?

Bussing the Sierra Madre,
two travellers homeless,
dreaming of return.

Sierra Madre, Kaushalya Bannerji, 2019

River beside us
sand beneath our flip-flopped feet
men we did not know

A River runs through it, Kaushalya Bannerji, 2017

I am a chronically ill queer artist and writer. I have a number of degrees in higher education and have spent most of my life interested and active in social movements against racism, militarism, misogyny and homophobia. Over the course of my life, I have worked in the world of alternate news, translation, law, teaching, and with progressive cultures, music, poetry, performers, and artists. I speak and understand a few languages and plan to share media in them on this blog. I am a poetry, art, music, and nature lover with an especial fondness for cats!
