I couldn’t be happier to hear the news that my long-time friend Stanford Forrester and I received a Merit Book Award for our bird anthology Bird Whistle! I regard Stanford as a modern haiku master, and to share an award with him is incredible! Thank you HSA for this amazing honor! Here the information below:
