My sympathies are with everyone who has had the good fortune to have
known John Knight.

Thank you so much John for staying the course despite ill health, and
may you still be writing and editing in that big magazine upstairs.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of John Knight. Although his has been a BIG name in the history of the haiku story in Australia, our paths crossed but once. This was at the haiku segment of the Queensland Poetry Festival, held in the Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens on 3 August 2008, where I read some of my work. John and I exchanged books, and as I hold his collection of haiku in my hands, I feel privileged to have spent time with John, even for those brief hours. The impression left by this accomplished poet, this engaging personality, is huge.
