Meanwhile, it has been a very noteworthy week in haiku for Ron C. Moss in other ways too.
On Friday evening (February 20), the successful launch of his new haiku collection “The Bone Carver” was very well attended down in Hobart, with nearly 60 people present.
“There was plenty of haiku reading”, as Ron himself has noted in thanks, with former AHS President Beverley George giving a “wonderful speech.”
