Reflections in Haiku

Born in New York City, we moved to New City (Rockland County), New York, in 1958. We are members of the International Society of Poets, the Academy of American Poets, the New York Poetry Forum and the Rockland County Haiku Society. We have been published in many national and international anthologies. There is a CD of our poetry, and we have been on the internet at Rocklandworldradio.com. Jeanne received an award for first place in the Mainichi Daily News of Tokyo, Japan, for her haiku poetry, and we have been featured readers in New York and New Jersey. Our poetry is many faceted. It is about our lives, our home, nature, current events and even about grandchildren. We conduct readings at the northern Metropolitan Nursing Home in Monsey, New York, and the Castle Point Veterans Hosprtal in Beacon, New York. We have helped to create a Krystallnacht Program at the Holocaust Museum and Study Center in Spring Valley, New York. We have helped to teach a poetry class at the Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey. We have a novella and eight books of poetry. We are working on our ninth book of poetry and a play. Our poetic autobiography seems so short. Everything is written in one paragraph. Now thirty-five years later we can reflect on our beginning writing poetry. An autobiography so short and so is life. We have two children and three grandchildren, along with five cats over the years. We have traveled to Israel, Spain, Italy, and England, and been published in many national and international anthologies.Siegel, Donald is the author of 'Reflections in Haiku' with ISBN 9781424138326 and ISBN 1424138329.
